Stainless steel wire mesh is the most popular woven screen in the industrial world, it is well known for its corrosion resistance and strength.
Stainless steel wire mesh contains chromium and nickel in addition to steel. It is non magnetic in the annealed condition. After stainless steel has been woven , it may become slightly magnetic due to cold working.

The two basic metal types: alloy type 304 and type 316
T304 is the basic metal alloy ,and unless otherwise specified it is assumed that this type is acceptable, also to be called 18-8 due to 18% chromium and 8% nickel. T304 melts at 2600 degrees F(1430 C) but its maximum recommended temperature for continuous service is 1450 degrees F(790 C) and is used for intermediate service up to 1650 degrees F(900 C). its uses including: sorting and screening of abrasives, liquids, powders and other solids , it is the less expensive alloy but not as corrosion resistance as T316, it is the stronger of the two types.

Type 316 is a special alloys due to the addition of 2% molybdenum. This increase its resistance to corrosion by salts, acids and seawater. Also called 18-10 due to 18% chromium and 10% nickel. T316 melts at 2500 degrees F (1375 C) but it maximum recommended temperature for continuous service is 1500F(815 C) and is used for intermediate service up to 1650 degrees F(900 C) its uses including : processing of oils and foods, chemicals and pharmaceuticals.

1. 302 stainless steel
   Low grade stainless steel grade alloy, is extensively used in producing in China for its economical cost.
2. 304 stainless steel
   Most common stainless steel alloy also is widely used in wire weaving，excellent corrosion and can withstand temperatures of 1100 degrees F.
3. 304L stainless steel
   Similar properties as 304ss but with better welding characteristics for lower carbon content.
4. 310 stainless steel
   Withstand high operating temperatures up to 1800 degree F for extended time periods.
5. 316 stainless steel
   Increased resistance to chemical corrosion for the addition of Molybdenum.
6. 316L stainless steel
   Similar properties to 316ss but lower carbon content to permit better welding.
7. 321 stainless steel
   Has the properties of 304ss but can handle high operating temperatures for the addition of Tiannium.
8. 430 stainless steel
   With much higher corrosion resistance. Commonly used in the food processing industry.

Stainless Steel Wire Mesh Grades

Stainless Steel 300 series comes in a variety of grades, some of which are readily available and others being specialty Stainless Steel. Stainless Steel Type 304 and Stainless Steel Type 316 are the two most common in the Stainless Steel grade family.
Both Stainless Steel Type 304 & Stainless Steel Type 316 are most commonly utilized for wire cloth weaving, wire cloth welding, and wire cloth fabricated parts. They are strong, sturdy, stable and durable, which makes them exceptionally beneficial for use in a wide variety of applications. WIRE CLOTH MAN stocks virtually every standard or market grade of Stainless Steel wire mesh, as well as many non-standard specifications, including heavy duty specifications.  We have looms for weaving and welding machines to manufacture wire cloth mesh to your exact requirements.

Stainless Steel Type 304

Stainless Steel Type 304 consists of 18% chromium and 8% nickel; it is the most popular of all types of Stainless Steel. Stainless Steel 304 can easily withstand outdoor exposure without rusting and resists oxidation at elevated temperatures of up to 1400 Degrees Fahrenheit.  Stainless Steel Type 304 wire mesh is strong, cost effective, and has high consumer appeal. It is used for a variety of applications, including filtration in oilfield, aerospace, chemical, hot gas, water purification, beverage, food and pharmaceutical industries, mining, chemical, water and wastewater industries, for sorting and screening of abrasives, liquids, powders and other solids. WIRE CLOTH MANufacturers carries Stainless Steel Type 304 in both standard and low carbon variations.

Stainless Steel Type 316

Stainless Steel Type 316 adds 2% molybdenum to the compound; type 316 is a direct derivative of its counterpart, Stainless Steel Type 304. Stainless Steel 316 is the second most widely used form of wire mesh within the industry. It is marked by excellent resistance to heat and corrosion resistance by salts, acids and seawater. Strong, sturdy, stable, and durable Stainless Steel Type 316 is very beneficial across many applications. It is commonly used for fabrication purposes and can be cut to size with appropriate tools and machinery. Stainless Steel 316 wire mesh is useful in various industries including marine technologies, rubber and plastic machinery, refinery and oil field, aerospace, automotive, food preparation and processing just to name a few. WIRE CLOTH MANufacturers carries Stainless Steel Type 316 in both standard and low carbon variations.
