Wire Mesh Information

Wire mesh has many applications besides its use as a barrier or screen. It has indoor as well as outdoor applications which range from practical and functional to cosmetic. Many choices exist in materials, weaves, weights, and appearance.

Materials
Popular materials for wire mesh include aluminum, nickel, stainless steel, iron, brass, and metal alloys. They have wide applications in industries like construction, manufacturing, food processing, and scientific research.
Stanless Steel
Stainless steel, with its high resistance to corrosion, heat, acid, and base, makes an excellent screen for various substances in the food and pharmaceutical industries, mining, and machine manufacture.
Aluminum
Light weight, durability, rust resistance, and flexibility make aluminum a natural for window screen netting, which can also consist of materials like stainless steel and plastic coated wires.
Nickel and Copper
Sheet metals of nickel, copper, alloys, as well as aluminum and stainless steel with punched-out holes instead of woven openings all have good stength, durability. They are used in building, road, and railway construction, as well as electrical and mechanical appliances.
Brass
Woven brass mesh acts as a good filter or screen for clay, powders, liquids and gases.
