Products Description
Stainless steel mesh is primarily manufactured through weaving and welding processes. Different processes determine differences in structure, performance, and applicable applications.
Weaving (Mainstream Process)
Weaving is the most widely used process, formed by interweaving stainless steel wires in warp and weft directions. It can be categorized into three common types:
| Weave Type | Characteristics | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Plain Weave | Warp and weft alternate vertically. Simple structure, smooth surface, excellent filtration uniformity, but relatively low mesh strength. | General liquid/gas filtration – tap water, air purification pre-filtration. |
| Twill Weave | Warp and weft intersections are diagonally arranged. Higher mesh density, greater strength, superior wear and impact resistance. | High-pressure, high-flow applications – petrochemical filtration, mining screening. |
| Mat Weave | Fine warp + coarse weft (or coarse warp + fine weft). Fine and uniform mesh, micron-level filtration accuracy. | Fine filtration – pharmaceutical liquid purification, food particle separation. |
Regardless of the weave type, this stainless steel mesh delivers consistent filtration performance and long service life.
Welding Process
Stainless steel wire is fixed into shape through resistance welding or arc welding. The core of this process is "strong welds":
Stable structure, rigid mesh surface – eliminates wire slippage and shifting common in woven meshes.
Can produce large-diameter and large-size mesh – suitable for protection and isolation applications.
Typical applications:
Mechanical equipment protective nets
Building exterior wall isolation nets
Livestock fencing nets
Common Process Advantages
Weather resistance – The process does not compromise the corrosion resistance of stainless steel. Finished products can be used long-term in humid, acidic, and alkaline environments – chemical plant anti-corrosion filters, marine protective nets.
Controllable precision – Weaving controls mesh size (from millimeters to microns) by adjusting wire diameter and warp/weft density. Welding accurately controls solder joint spacing to meet precision requirements of different scenarios.
