Product Overview
Stainless steel wire mesh, is a mesh product made of stainless steel wire as raw material and woven by professional weaving machinery. It combines the excellent corrosion resistance, high strength, and high temperature resistance of stainless steel materials with the flexibility, filtration performance, and decorative properties brought by the weaving process, making it an extremely versatile basic industrial material and decorative material.
Common Weaving Processes
Plain Weave
- Warp and weft wires interlace up and down forming a stable square mesh structure.
- Stable structure with uniform mesh and good load-bearing strength.
- Suitable for general filtration, screening and protective applications.
Twill Weave
- Warp or weft wires pass over two wires forming a diagonal weave pattern.
- Denser structure with better flexibility than plain weave.
- Used for higher filtration accuracy and wear resistance requirements.
Dutch Weave
- Reinforced structure using different wire diameters for very fine mesh openings.
- Extremely fine openings with high filtration precision and low permeability.
- Suitable for precision filtration and gas-liquid separation applications.
Common materials
SUS 304 / 304L
Most commonly used, general purpose, good corrosion resistance and formability.
SUS 316 / 316L
Contains molybdenum, stronger corrosion resistance, especially resistant to chloride corrosion (e.g., seawater, brine).
SUS 310S / 314
High temperature resistant stainless steel, suitable for high temperature furnaces, heat treatment equipment.
SUS 430
Ferritic stainless steel, good stress corrosion resistance, but less chemical corrosion resistance than 304.
Applications
Screening and Filtration
- Sieving and filtration in petroleum, chemical, pharmaceutical, food industries.
- Screening sand, gravel, coal, ore.
- Water treatment, sewage treatment.
Protection and Safety
- Door and window anti-theft nets, ventilation protection nets, railing decoration.
- Protective covers for machinery and equipment, ventilation grilles.
- Engine flame arrestor screens.
Decoration and Design
- Curtain walls, ceilings, partitions, screens.
- Storage baskets, wine racks, lamps, furniture veneers.
- Sculptures, installation art.
Other Industrial Uses
- Electromagnetic shielding
- Breeding nets, greenhouse supports.
- Baking sheets, cooling racks.
Selection and Usage Precautions
1. Clarify Requirements
- Determine the material according to the use environment (corrosiveness, temperature, pressure).
- Determine the mesh count and aperture according to filtration accuracy requirements.
- Determine wire diameter and weaving method according to stress conditions.
2. Surface Treatment
- Choose different surface treatments as needed, such as bright annealing (soft state, more corrosion resistant), electropolishing (improves smoothness, easy to clean), etc.
3. Installation and Fixation
- When cutting, pay attention to treating the edges to prevent wire scattering and injury.
- Use appropriate frames and pressing strips during installation to ensure a flat and tensioned mesh surface.
4. Cleaning and Maintenance
- Regularly clean the blockage in the mesh to maintain performance.
- Use clean water or neutral detergent for rinsing, avoid using strong acids and alkalis to avoid damaging the surface passivation film.
