1.Why we call it is stainless steel wire mesh, because all stainless steel wire mesh made from stainless steel, in the air, and water, seawater or various acids, alkali, salt solution, having a high chemical stability, and not oxidation, rust or corrosion, so we called it is stainless steel, as for components of stainless steel, please refer Stainless Steel Wire Mesh Alloys
In the components, some element supports it’s character, as following.
Nickel(Ni) is an excellent corrosion-resistant material, is formed in the steel austenite main elements. Addition of nickel in stainless steel, the organization changed significantly. Increased levels of nickel in stainless steel, austenite will increase the corrosion resistance of stainless steel, high temperature resistance, workability will be enhanced, thereby improving process performance cold steel. Therefore, the higher the nickel-containing stainless steel more suitable and corrosion resisting, Maishi Wire Mesh‘s stainless steel wire mesh strictly according to ASTM standard, 304 series with min Ni8%,316 series with min Ni10%.
Chromium(Cr) is to determine the corrosion resistance of stainless steel main factors. Chemical corrosion and metal corrosion is divided into two kinds of non- chemical corrosion. The metal at high temperatures directly in the air react with oxygen to form oxides ( rust ) chemical etching ; at room temperature under non- chemical etching of this corrosion. Chromium in the oxidation medium can easily generate a dense mass of the passive film. Passivation film stability and integrity of this layer, and with a solid matrix metal, the substrate is completely separated from the medium, thereby improving the corrosion resistance of the alloy. Maishi Wire Mesh‘s stainless steel wire mesh strictly according to ASTM standard, 304 series with min Cr18%,316 series with min Cr16%.
Carbon(C) in stainless steel with "0". A "0" indicates that the carbon content is less than equal to 0.09% ; "00" indicates the carbon content 0.03% or less. Increased carbon content reduces the corrosion resistance of stainless steel, but can increase the hardness of steel. Maishi Wire Mesh‘s stainless steel wire mesh strictly according to ASTM standard, 304 with max C0.8%,304L with max C0.3%,316 with max C0.8%,304 with max C0.3%.
Molybdenum(Mo) can improve the corrosion resistance and tensile strength of stainless steel. Molybdenum is added in a stainless steel, stainless steel surface can be passivated. Maishi Wire Mesh‘s stainless steel wire mesh strictly according to ASTM standard, 316 series with min Mo 2%,317series with min Mo 3%.
2. In the world, when you call or search stainless steel wire mesh, it means you want to get stainless steel woven wire mesh, because stainless steel woven wire mesh is biggest market and production. It has more than five weaving type, plain weave, twill weave, plain dutch weave, twill dutch weave, reverse dutch weave five methods, for more details and reference please click Wire Cloth Weaves
According to different weaving type, it has different specifications, briefly specifications of Maishi Wire Mesh as following,
(1) crimped: 0. 5mesh to 12 mesh
(2) plain weave: 5 mesh to 400 mesh
(3) twill weave: 50 mesh to 500 mesh
(4) plain dutch weave: 12X64 mesh to 400X2800 mesh
(5) revise dutch weave: 48X10 mesh to 1000X100 mesh
please click Maishi Stainless Steel Plain Weave Wire Mesh to get details of specifications.
3. stainless steel woven wire mesh is widely used in petroleum, chemical industry, chemical fiber, rubber, tire manufacturing, metallurgy, medicine, food and other industries. For acid, alkali conditions filter, the oil industry make mud network, chemical industry, filters, electroplating industry for pickling network.
