Stainless steel woven wire mesh products, which mainly include Stainless steel wire mesh Square opening and Stainless steel wire mesh dutch weave. Stainless steel wire mesh offers excellent resistance against acid, alkali, heat and corrosion, it widely be used in processing of oils, chemicals, food, pharmaceuticals, also be used in sorting and screening of solid, liquid and gas in mine, metallurgy, airspace, machine making, etc.

The materials of weaving stainless steel wire mesh are mainly Type 304, Type 304 L, Type 316 and Type 316 L.

Type 304 is often referred to as "18-8" ( 18% chromium, 8% nickel ) with the basic stainless alloy mostly commonly, utilized for wire cloth weaving. It withstands outdoor exposure without rusting and resists oxidation at an elevated temperature up to 1400 Degrees Fahrenheit.

Type 304 L is very similar to T-304, the difference being the 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. It has better resistance to pitting corrosion than the other chromium-nickel stainless steels where brines, sculpture-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.

Type 316 L is very similar to T-316, the difference being the reduced carbon content for wire cloth weaving and secondary welding characteristics.

The patterns of  weaving stainless steel wire mesh are usually Dutch twill woven and Dutch plain woven, Dutch Twill Woven Wire Cloth offers higher strength than regular Dutch woven wire cloth. It packs even more wires in a given area than Dutch plain woven wire cloth. Generally, Dutch Twill Woven Wire Cloth offers finer mesh counts and lower flow than other Dutch Woven Wire Cloth; Dutch Plain Woven Wire Cloth is primarily used as filter cloth. This kind of woven wire cloth has a coarser mesh and wire in the warp direction and a finer mesh and wire in the weft direction. Dutch Plain Woven Wire Cloth makes an ideal filter cloth with a very compact, firm mesh with great strength.
