304 STAINLESS STEEL MESH INTRODUCTION
304 stainless steel wire mesh is one of the most widely used material in the wire mesh industry. Because of its good corrosion resistance, it is used in various industries, such as the food industry, medical industry, electronics, and architecture decoration industry. Typical applications include: filter element, printing, mine screen, decorative wire mesh, window screen, aviary mesh, etc.
Although 304 stainless steel wire mesh has excellent corrosion resistance in mild environments, it is not as corrosion resistant as 316 stainless steel mesh in petrochemical and marine environments. The main reason is that 316 contains molybdenum, which improves the resistance to chloride corrosion.
According to different processing methods, 304 stainless steel mesh has the following product forms,
- Woven mesh, fine mesh is often used for filtering, coarse mesh is often used for screen and decoration.
- Welded wire mesh, often used as hardware cloth.
- Perforated metal sheet
- Expanded mesh
According to different weaving methods, the woven mesh is divided into the following types
- Plain weave
- Twill weave
- Dutch weave
