Products Description
Metal mesh is processed into sheets or rolls with regular openings through weaving, welding, stretching, or perforating. It serves a wide range of applications across industries.
Core Materials
| Material | Features | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Low‑carbon steel wire | Cost‑effective, general strength | General protection, fencing |
| Stainless steel wire | Corrosion‑resistant, durable | Humid environments, food processing, marine use |
| Aluminum alloy wire | Lightweight, rust‑resistant | Decorative mesh, architectural applications |
| Copper wire | Premium appearance, conductive | Decorative screens, artistic installations |
Main Applications
| Sector | Examples |
|---|---|
| Industrial | Fluid filtration, equipment protection, material screening |
| Construction | Wall reinforcement, exterior insulation mesh, ceiling decorative mesh |
| Home | Balcony/ windowsill protective mesh, partition mesh, decorative ornaments |
| Agriculture | Livestock fencing, crop support netting, insect repellent netting |
This metal mesh adapts to diverse scenarios with reliable performance and long service life.
Core Process Characteristics
Different processing techniques determine the performance of metal mesh. The main processes and their features are as follows.
1. Weaving Process
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Process principle | Metal wires interwoven in warp/weft directions using automated looms – diamond, square, or hexagonal patterns. |
| Key features | Flexible, can be bent and cut; uniform mesh, breathable. |
| Best For | Decorative mesh, protective mesh (e.g., Dutch weave), screening. |
2. Welding Process
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Process principle | Resistance or arc welding fixes intersecting wires – forms a rigid mesh. |
| Key features | Strong structure, high load‑bearing capacity; flat surface, dimensionally stable. |
| Best For | Heavy‑duty protective mesh (anti‑theft nets), pet cage mesh, industrial guarding. |
3. Stretching Process (Expanded Mesh)
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Process principle | Metal sheet pre‑cut with dies, then mechanically stretched – openings expand into mesh. |
| Key features | No welds, high overall strength; diamond‑shaped openings, excellent ventilation and light transmission. |
| Best For | Building reinforcement, curtain wall decoration, walkway grating. |
4. Surface Treatment
| Method | Features | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Hot‑dip galvanizing | Thick zinc layer (50‑80μm), exceptional rust resistance | Outdoor, humid, industrial environments |
| Electro‑galvanizing | Thin zinc layer (10‑20μm), lower cost | Indoor, dry environments |
| PVC coating | Soft plastic coating, colorful, scratch‑resistant | Home, decorative, child‑friendly applications |
| Powder coating | Various colors, strong adhesion, scratch‑resistant | Architectural, aesthetic‑sensitive applications |
Surface treatment improves anti‑corrosion and anti‑rust capabilities, extends service life, and offers customizable colors (such as black, green, gray) to meet aesthetic needs of different scenarios.
