Stainless steel welded wire mesh is produced by intersecting longitudinal and transverse wires, then fusing each crossover with resistance welding to create a rigid grid.
Material Composition
Commonly used austenitic grades include SS 304 and SS 316, offering chromium contents of 18‑20% and nickel contents of 8‑12% for 304, and increased molybdenum (2‑3%) in 316 for enhanced chloride resistance.
Mesh Specifications
Key dimensional parameters are wire diameter, aperture size (clear opening), and overall panel dimensions, each held to tight tolerances to ensure repeatable performance.
| Parameter | Typical Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Wire diameter (mm) | 0.5 – 3.0 | Selected based on load requirements |
| Aperture (mm) | 2 – 100 | Square or rectangular openings |
| Panel width (mm) | 500 – 2000 | Custom lengths available |
| Panel length (mm) | 1000 – 6000 | Limited by handling equipment |
| Tolerance on aperture | ±0.2 mm | Measured at mid‑panel |
Manufacturing Process
Wire is fed through a precision spacing system that maintains exact pitch, then passes through a series of copper electrode wheels where resistance welds form at each intersection, followed by inline cooling and straightening.
Modern lines incorporate laser‑based aperture monitoring and programmable logic controllers to adjust wire feed speed, ensuring consistent opening size across long production runs.
Applications
In liquid filtration, the mesh’s uniform aperture and corrosion‑resistant alloy allow precise particle retention while withstanding aggressive chemicals and elevated temperatures.
When embedded in concrete, the welded grid provides isotropic tensile strength, reducing cracking and improving load distribution compared to loose rebar.
For machine guarding, the high weld shear strength prevents panel deformation under impact, maintaining protective integrity over extended service life.
Quality Assurance
Each batch undergoes tensile testing of wire (ASTM A370), weld shear verification per ISO 9015, and dimensional inspection using calibrated vision systems to confirm aperture tolerance.
Surface finish is evaluated for passivation quality; a water‑break test confirms absence of free iron, ensuring the corrosion‑resistant oxide layer remains intact.
Customization Options
Customers may specify wire diameters outside the standard range, with corresponding adjustments to welding energy to maintain joint integrity.
Custom apertures, including tapered or slotted patterns, are achievable by altering wire spacing before the weld station.
Edges can be left untreated, folded over for safety, or fitted with PVC caps to prevent abrasion during handling.
Packaging & Shipping
Mesh panels are stacked flat, separated by interleaving polyethylene sheets, then secured with steel straps to prevent shifting during transit.
Standard 20‑foot containers accommodate up to 20 tons of stacked pallets, with moisture‑absorbing desiccant packs added for overseas shipments.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can dimensions be customized?
- Yes, wire diameter, aperture, panel width and length are adjustable according to project specifications.
- What information is required before quotation?
- Required details include grade (SS 304/316), wire size, opening dimensions, panel dimensions, quantity, and any special edge treatment or coating.
- Which materials are available?
- Standard offerings are SS 304 and SS 316L; other alloys such as SS 321 or duplex grades can be sourced upon request.
- How is quality inspected?
- Inspection includes tensile testing of base wire, weld shear strength measurement, aperture verification via optical measurement, and visual surface assessment.
- What packaging methods are available?
- Standard packaging uses flat pallets with polyethylene interleaving and steel strapping; custom crating or vapor‑corrosion inhibitor (VCI) bags are offered for sensitive environments.
- How are export shipments protected?
- Shipments receive desiccant packs, VCI film when required, and are secured within containers to minimize movement and moisture ingress.
- What is the typical production lead time?
- Lead time ranges from 2 to 4 weeks for standard specifications; customized orders may extend to 6 weeks depending on tooling and material availability.
- How are samples arranged?
- Sample sections (typically 300 mm × 300 mm) can be dispatched via express courier, with freight charges collect or prepaid as agreed.
