Stainless Steel Wire Mesh (Cloth)

Stainless steel wire mesh & cloth

Description:
Materials for weaving stainless steel wire mesh & cloth are divided into type 302, Type 304, type 304l, type 316 and type 316l.

Type 304: Often referred to as "18-8" (18% chromium, 8% nickel) t-304 is the
Basic stainless alloy mostly commonly utilized for wire cloth weaving. It withstands outdoor exposure without rusting and resists oxidation at an elevatedt emperature up to 1400 degrees fahrenheit.

Type 304l: Type 304l is very similar to t-304, but with reduced carbon content
For better weaving and secondary welding characteristics.

Type 316: Stabilized by the addition of 2% molybdenum, t-316 is an "18-8" alloy.
Type 316 has better resistance to pitting corrosion than the other chromium-nickel stainless steels where brines, sulphur-bearing water or halogen salts, such as chlorides are present. A valuable property of t-316 is high creep strength at elevated temperatures.

Other mechanical properties and fabricating characteristics are similar to t-304.
Wire Cloth woven of t-316 has extensive use in chemical processing when better corrosion resistance is required than the regular chromium-nickel types.

Type 316l: Type 316 l is very similar to t-316, but with reduced carbon content
For better wire cloth weaving and secondary welding characteristics.
