Metal wire mesh
From QIUSUO, we offer metal woven wire mesh made of a variety of materials for various industrial applications. Choosing the proper material for your applications depends on material chemical and physical properties. Here, we briefly introduce the properties of materials we can offer for your reference to help you choose material correctly and quickly. Materials wires available as follows.
Mild Steel
Plain low carbon steel typically Q195, drawn from rod. Combines strength and weldability with economy.
Galvanized Before Weaving / Welding
Carbon steel coated with a light layer of zinc during the manufacturing process. Adequate corrosion resistance is provided for most indoor applications, but not recommended for outdoor installations.
Galvanized After Woven / Welding
Carbon steel coated with a heavy layer of zinc after the manufacture of the mesh. Excellent for long term corrosion protection.
High Carbon Steel
Abrasion resistant steel used for applications facing significant wear such as media filtering or sorting. Abrasion resistant steel can be difficult to weld, consider mechanical fastening to supporting structure.
High carbon steel typically 65Mn, 70# steel, High Strength And High Wear Resistance. 65MN Crimped Wire Mesh is deal for Mining Screens with High Wear resistance.

300 Series stainless steels - for high performance in general commercial and industrial applications
Our wire mesh/cloth commonly manufactured in 300 series alloys. Type 304 is most popular, but also available in types 309, 310, 316, 321 & 347. Series 400 alloys are also available on special order. 300 series alloys Woven Wire Mesh are in stock.
Stainless steel is an alloy of iron and chromium with remarkable heat & corrosion resistance when compared with carbon steel. That's because the chromium in the stainless steel can produce an oxide layer on the surface to protect and prevent from further corrosion. As a result, it becomes one of the most popular material for woven wire mesh. Stainless steel woven mesh is widely used in various sieving, filtration, EMI shielding, screen printing and insect prevention applications.
Our most common types of stainless steel used for woven wire mesh include stainless steel 304, 304L, 316, 316L, 321, 314, 430 and 904L. For specific stainless steel type selection, please contact us for further material considerations.

Inconel 600, Monel 400, Nichrome V and Hastalloy C276 offer specific characteristics desirable in specialized environments.
Copper based alloys, bronze, brass and titanium are also available for all woven products. Copper is a soft, malleable and ductile metal with very high thermal and electrical conductivity. When exposed to the air for a long time, a slow oxidation reaction occurs to form a layer of copper oxide and further enhance the corrosion resistance of the copper. Due to its high price, copper is not a common material for woven wire mesh. With high density, copper woven mesh is widely used in various EMI shielding and insect prevention applications.

Guide to T-304 & T-316 Stainless Steel Metal Wire Mesh
Boasting unmatched strength, resilience, and versatility, stainless steel wire mesh is a critical material for countless industrial applications. The metal itself has myriad specifications and grades, the most common being types 304 (T-304) and 316 (T-316).
What's the difference between the two, and how do you know which is best for your needs? Read on for insight.
T-304 vs. T-316 Stainless Steel Alloys
Before diving deeper into the differences in these materials, it&#;s important to understand what an alloy is. An alloy is a metal combined with other elements to create a material not found in nature. For instance, when pure silver is combined with a small amount of copper, the result is sterling silver.
Steel is created by adding chromium to iron, and the stainless variety typically contains a small amount of nickel. The exact percentages of each element determine the grade of the metal.
Stainless steel wire mesh products are used in everything from aerospace and agriculture to mining and machinery. While there's a multitude of variations, T-304 and T-316 are the most widely used.
T-304 is essentially the standard version, and T-316 is premium. Though these alloys look nearly identical to the untrained eye, they're notably different in terms of their durability and resistance to heat and corrosion.
What Is T-304 Stainless Steel?
Type 304 stainless steel is an alloy containing 18% chromium and 8% nickel. In addition to being affordable and supremely versatile, there are many advantages to using the material.
T-304 wire mesh products are:
Heat-resistant in temperatures as high as °F
Non-magnetic
Operational in sub-zero temperatures
Resistant to corrosion
Unlikely to oxidize
This type of wire mesh is widely available and comes in a broad range of sizes, wire diameters, and weaves.
T-304 Stainless Steel Metal Mesh Applications & Industries
WIRSINGTRADING contains other products and information you need, so please check it out.
Many industries rely on T-304 steel hardware cloth, including mining, food production, water filtration, automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, construction, and refinery.
Industrial applications for T-304 include:
Creation of moldings and trim
Equipment tubing and piping
Electrical enclosures
Laboratory use
Particle separation
Screening abrasives and liquids
Sieving
Sorting powders and solid materials
Storage tanks
T-304 is a go-to for various applications, so bear in mind this is by no means an exhaustive list.
What Is T-316 Stainless Steel?
Type 316 stainless steel is an alloy containing 16% chromium and 10% nickel, along with 2% of the chemical element molybdenum. While it's priced slightly higher than T-304, it's just as versatile with many notable benefits.
T-316 wire mesh products are:
More resistant to corrosion than T-304
Non-magnetic
Resilient in extreme temperatures
Resilient in harsh environmental conditions
Resistant to spot welding
Suitable in marine environments
Unlikely to oxidize
Thanks to the small amount of molybdenum, this type of stainless steel is typically recommended for highly corrosive marine environments where T-304 isn't as stable.
T-316 Stainless Steel Mesh Applications and Industries
Like T-304, several commercial sectors rely on T-316 stainless steel hardware cloth. This includes marine technology, food processing, manufacturing, automotive, shipbuilding, aerospace, and the pharmaceutical and medical industries.
Industrial applications for T-316 include:
Boat fittings
Chemical processing and storage
Cisterns and piping
Containing pressurized gasses or liquids
Heavy welding
Infrastructure
Laboratory use
Machinery
Marine components
Outdoor furnishings
Particle separation
