Basic Description: Stainless steel wire mesh is a mesh material made from stainless steel wires, with common weaving types including Square Mesh and Dutch Weave Mesh. Square Mesh, with its regular grid structure, is suitable for general screening and filtration needs, while Dutch Weave Mesh uses a finer weaving technique, providing higher precision filtration and is ideal for applications requiring high-precision filtering. Regardless of the weaving type, stainless steel wire mesh is known for its excellent properties such as corrosion resistance, high-temperature tolerance, and resistance to deformation, making it an essential filtration material in various industries.

Common Materials:

• 304 Stainless Steel: Commonly used for general filtration applications, offering good corrosion resistance at an affordable price.

• 316 Stainless Steel: Provides superior corrosion resistance, suitable for chemical, marine, and other highly corrosive environments.

• 310 Stainless Steel: Excellent high-temperature resistance, suitable for screening and filtration in high-temperature conditions.

Applications:

Stainless Steel Crimped Mesh is a type of mesh material formed by the crimping process, where stainless steel wires are subjected to pressure, creating a patterned surface with uniform mesh openings. It is known for its strong structure, durability, and high corrosion resistance. Due to its special weaving method and robust characteristics, crimped mesh is widely used in various screening, filtration, and decorative applications, especially in environments requiring high strength and heavy load-bearing capabilities.

Basic Description:

Stainless steel crimped mesh is made by processing stainless steel wires through a crimping process, creating a pattern with uniformly spaced mesh openings. Compared to traditional plain weave mesh, crimped mesh has stronger mesh openings and a more uniform, solid structure, making it suitable for environments that require higher pressure and load-bearing capacity. The size of the mesh openings can be customized based on requirements, and it is commonly used for screening and filtering applications that need high strength and heavy load resistance.

Product Features:

• High Strength and Load-Bearing Capacity: Due to the special crimping treatment of the mesh openings, the structure is more compact and strong, allowing it to withstand greater pressure and load.

• Strong Corrosion Resistance: The stainless steel material ensures excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for harsh environments, particularly in industries such as chemicals, marine, and oil.

• Good High-Temperature Resistance: It has strong high-temperature resistance, making it suitable for working in high-temperature environments while maintaining stable performance over time.

• Wide Applicability: The mesh size can be customized to meet various needs, including screening, filtration, and decorative functions.

Application Areas:

• Architecture and Decoration: Stainless steel crimped mesh is commonly used in architectural and decorative materials, such as exterior wall panels, partition meshes, and railings, due to its sturdiness, durability, and aesthetic appeal.

• Screening and Filtration: It is widely used in industries like mining, metallurgy, chemicals, food, and plastics for screening and filtration, especially for coarse particle screening and heavy-load environments.

• Isolation and Protection: It is used as protective or isolation mesh in places like zoos, factory facilities, and other areas, effectively preventing items from leaking or entering certain regions.

• Water Treatment: In the water treatment industry, stainless steel crimped mesh is commonly used for filtration and separation in sewage treatment and water purification processes.

Types of Crimped Mesh:

1.  Plain Crimped Mesh: This type features a simple crimp, where each intersecting wire locks with the adjacent wire. It is the most basic and widely used crimped mesh type.

2.  Intermediate Crimped Mesh: Also known as "medium crimp," this type features pre-crimped wires, creating a stable mesh with larger openings. It is often used in coarser meshes to create larger openings with lighter wires.

3.  Lock Crimped Mesh: This type is made with pre-crimped metal wires, with the key feature being that each intersection forms raised joints that lock the mesh into place. This provides a very strong and durable mesh.

Terminology:

Plain Weave Curled (Plain Curling): Although not an official term in the ASTM E 2016-06 industrial woven wire mesh standard, "Plain Weave Curling" has become a common term in the industry. It refers to a simple, almost natural curling process where each intersecting wire locks with the adjacent wire. Typically, "Plain Weave" and "Plain Curling" are used interchangeably, with most (but not all) plain weave meshes being plain curled, while all plain curled meshes are plain weave.

Medium Curl or Interlaced Curl: This term describes a common type of crimp used in woven metal mesh manufacturing. In medium crimp, both the longitudinal and transverse wires are pre-crimped before weaving. Medium crimp is typically used in coarser meshes to achieve larger openings with relatively lighter wires. The key feature is the ripple in the metal wire, which enhances the stability of the mesh. Generally, the larger the opening size, the more the crimping.

Lock Crimp: This is a common type of crimp used in woven metal mesh manufacturing, similar to the intermediate crimp but with the key feature that each intersecting metal wire forms a raised joint. These joints lock the mesh into the proper position, making the product extremely sturdy. In lock crimp, the metal wires remain straight between the intersections, unlike intermediate crimp, where the wires are wavy.

Each crimped mesh type has specific advantages and applications depending on the level of strength, load-bearing capacity, and mesh opening size required for the task at hand.
