Wondering what material grade of woven wire mesh/cloth can be made

From QIUSUO, we offer metal woven wire mesh made of a variety of materials for various industrial applications. Choosing the right material for your application depends on the material's chemical and physical properties. Here we briefly introduce the characteristics of the materials we can provide for your reference to help you choose materials correctly and quickly. Material wires are as follows.

Low-carbon steel

Ordinary mild steel, usually Q195, is made from bar stock. Combines strength and weldability with economy.

Galvanized before braiding/welding

Carbon steel coated with a light zinc layer during the manufacturing process. Provides adequate corrosion resistance for most indoor applications but is not recommended for outdoor installations.

Galvanized after braiding/welding

Carbon steel is coated with a heavy zinc layer after the mesh is made. Excellent long-term anti-corrosion performance.

High-carbon steel

Wear-resistant steel is used in applications that face significant wear, such as media filtration or classification. Wear-resistant steel can be difficult to weld, consider mechanically fastening it to the supporting structure.

High carbon steel is usually 65Mn, 70# steel, with high strength and high wear resistance. 65MN crimped wire mesh is used for high wear resistance mining screens.

Aluminum alloy

Aluminum alloys are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and readily available. Alloy 1350 is the most common and can be welded and anodized easily. Alloys 5056 and 6061 are also available.

300 Series Stainless Steel - For high performance in general commercial and industrial applications

Our wire mesh/cloth is usually manufactured from 300 series alloy. Type 304 is the most popular, but types 309, 310, 316, 321 and 347 are also available. Series 400 alloys are also available on special order. Braided Wire Mesh 300 Series Alloys are in stock.

Stainless steel is an alloy of iron and chromium and has significant heat and corrosion resistance compared to carbon steel. This is because the chromium in stainless steel can create an oxide layer on the surface to protect and prevent further corrosion. As a result, it became one of the most popular materials for woven wire mesh. Stainless steel woven mesh is widely used in various screening, filtration, EMI shielding, screen printing and insect control applications.

Our most common types of stainless steel used for woven wire mesh include stainless steel 304, 304L, 316, 316L, 321, 314, 430 and 904L. For specific stainless steel type selections, please contact us for further material considerations.

Nickel and non-ferrous metals - for special environments

Inconel 600, Monel 400, Inconel V and Hastalloy C276 provide the specific properties required in special environments.

Copper-based alloys, bronze, brass and titanium are also available for all woven products. Copper is a soft, malleable metal with high thermal and electrical conductivity. When exposed to air for a long time, a slow oxidation reaction occurs, forming a copper oxide layer, further enhancing the corrosion resistance of copper. Due to its high price, copper is not a common material for woven wire mesh. Copper braided mesh has high density and is widely used in various electromagnetic interference shielding and insect control applications.
