Welded wire mesh made from stainless steel is a robust and adaptable material used across a wide range of industries. Created by welding steel wires at their intersections, it forms a rigid and uniform grid that offers strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability. Whether in industrial settings, construction, agriculture, or architecture, it provides reliable performance in demanding environments.
Characteristics Stainless Welded Wire Mesh
1. Material Composition
Manufactured primarily from grades 304 or 316 stainless steel, this mesh offers excellent resistance to rust, chemicals, and extreme temperatures. Grade 304 is ideal for general use, while 316 is preferred in marine or chemically aggressive environments due to its molybdenum content.
2. Welding Process
The mesh is produced through an electrical resistance welding technique, ensuring strong joints at each intersection. This prevents unraveling and maintains structural integrity even when cut.
3. Mesh Configuration
- Square or Rectangular Openings
- Wire diameters range from 0.5 mm to over 2.5 mm
- Opening sizes typically range from 6 mm to 50 mm
