Selecting the right material

Stainless steel woven wire cloth has outstanding resistance to the acid and alkali.

Today's industry demands the high quality of wire cloth. There is no material is absolutely same and no single material has all of the characteristics. You need to know the accurate features of each material, so that you can find the best selection.

● Galvanized wire

Galvanized is a type of surface treatment. The material is commonly carbon steel wire. It can be galvanized before weaving and galvanized after weaving. According to the zinc weight, it also can be divided into electric galvanized and hot dipped galvanized. Galvanized woven wire cloth has outstanding resistance to the corrosion and rust. It can form a solid surface for the woven wire cloth. The galvanized wire is the material of the square opening woven wire cloth and crimped woven wire cloth.

● Stainless steel

Stainless steel woven wire cloth is the most widely used in the production. It has so many outstanding characters, such as the resistance to the acid, alkali, heat, corrosion and rust. It is ideal for the harsh environments. Stainless steel woven wire cloth also has outstanding chemical resistance, so it is widely used in the chemical and pharmacy industries for filtering screen.

● Copper

Copper woven wire cloth is also the widely used type. It can be divided into red copper, phosphor bronze and brass.

Expanded Copper Mesh for Lightning Strikes Protection

►The red copper contains the 99.8% copper, which has excellent insulation of the sound, it is widely used in the wall construction to insulation the sound. It is also used as the shielding screen in the laboratory, military, industries and other places to shield the RFI and EMI.

►Phosphor bronze has 85% - 90% copper and 10% - 15% tin. The phosphor bronze woven wire cloth has outstanding ductility. It is widely used in the window screen and printing screen.

►Brass is the most commonly used of the three. Brass has the character of tension stress, extensibility. It is widely used in the printing screen and window screen. The brass woven wire cloth also has the resistance to the acid and alkali, it is widely used as the woven wire filter cloth for filtering the liquid, gas and solid.

Decorative Expanded Aluminum Mesh

● Aluminum alloy

Aluminum alloy is commonly named as the alloy of aluminum and magnesium. It offers good corrosion resistance as well as electrical and thermal conductivity. The aluminum alloy is light weight and has high strength-to-weight, so it is easy to fabricate. The aluminum alloy material is widely used in the window screen and decorative woven wire mesh.
