Stainless steel wire mesh materials
Stainless steel wire mesh is the most popular woven screen in the industrial world, and it is famous for its corrosion resistance and strength. There are the types of materials of Stainless steel wire mesh.
The two basic types: alloy type 304 and type 316
T304 is the basic metal alloy, and it is assumed that this type is acceptable, also to be called 18-8 due to 18% chromium and 8% nickel. 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 ss316 is a special alloy due to the addition of 2% molybdenum, which increases its resistance to corrosion by salts, acids and seawater. It is also called 18-10 due to 18% chromium and 10% nickel. Its 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.
Other types:
1. 302 stainless steel
Low grade stainless steel 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 stand temperatures of 1100 degrees F.
3. 304L stainless steel
Similar with 304ss, but it is with better welding characteristics for lower carbon content.
4. 310 stainless steel
It can stand high operating temperatures up to 1800 degree F for extended time periods.
5. 316 stainless steel
It has increased resistance to chemical corrosion for the addition of Molybdenum.
6. 316L stainless steel
It is similar to 316 but has lower carbon content to permit better welding.
7. 321 stainless steel
It has the features of 304 but can stand high temperatures for the addition of Tiannium.
8. 430 stainless steel
Commonly used in the food processing industry, because the much higher corrosion resistance.
