Woven Wire Mesh

Woven Wire Mesh

Woven Wire Mesh is woven in the same way as cloth on a loom. The most common materials used to manufacture woven wire mesh are carbon steel, galvanised steel and stainless steel as well as aluminium.

Common materials used for the manufacture of woven wire mesh include

Carbon steel

Galvanised steel

Stainless steel wire mesh

Aluminium

Copper

brass

Stainless steel wire mesh is particularly useful because it is extremely resistant to chemicals, suitable for hot or cold liquids and easy to clean. Aluminium mesh is lightweight, strong, has a high electrical conductivity and a low melting point. Aluminium mesh is also remarkably resistant to atmospheric corrosion. Carbon steel and galvanised wire mesh is strong, economical and readily available.

Features of woven wire mesh

Robust construction

Wide range of uses

Easy to install

Low wind load resistance

Easy to cut to fit

Available in a wide range of materials, such as stainless steel and aluminium

Because our woven wire is versatile and easy to install, it can be used in a variety of applications. From fencing to machine guarding, XH wire mesh has woven wire mesh for your application. Examples of common applications include

Woven wire baskets

Woven wire architectural grilles

Woven wire display racks and stands

Woven wire racks

Woven wire mesh liquid filtration

Woven wire mesh air filtration

Woven wire mesh wall reinforcements

Woven wire handrail panel inserts

The heavier woven wire must be pre-crimped. The material remains stable and rigid after the crimping process. Pre-crimped woven wire is ideal for industrial and architectural applications.

Aluminum Woven Wire Mesh

Aluminium woven wire mesh is light, in fact a good rule of thumb is that it is approximately 1/3 the weight of stainless steel compared to stainless steel mesh. aluminium wire mesh is also corrosion resistant in most normal environments, but will corrode rapidly in the presence of alkaline solutions and hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acids. With an estimated melting point of 1218°F, aluminium has many benefits, including relatively low cost compared to other wire screens. Aluminium woven wire mesh is a popular choice for a range of industries, including aerospace and automotive, as well as marine and electrical conductivity applications.

Due to its price, quality and adaptability, aluminium wire mesh works perfectly in many applications. Mesh is easy to shape, mould and cut with basic hand tools due to its soft material nature and can be easily found in any hardware shop. Tin snips will cut the heavier 2 mesh to 10 mesh, while household scissors should be able to cut finer mesh sizes, 16 mesh and above.

We offer a wide choice of wire mesh types depending on material, finish, size and weave, meaning there are endless combinations to suit your project needs. We also offer a laser cutting service to manufacture bespoke parts accurately, efficiently and economically. We are here to help you find the best mesh for your needs.

Features and uses

People tend to use aluminium wire mesh because it is both lightweight and strong. This material is the key to the manufacture of many vents, fan covers and filters. In addition, aluminium fan covers keep birds, bats and snakes away.

Aluminium is a common choice due to its relative affordability and its price is lower than some other metals. Its high electrical conductivity makes it ideal for a wide range of applications and it resists corrosion under most normal conditions.

Industrial, marine, aerospace, transportation and many other industries have turned to aluminium wire mesh for its unique advantages. Its uses include.

8 mesh To keep bees out of attics and other housing spaces. (5 mesh does not include queens.)

8 mesh and finer keep exhaust fans away from debris and insects.

Sizes including 20 mesh are a valuable component of roof vents.

A range of aluminium mesh discs are available for filtering, tensioning and performing other essential tasks in ducts, pipes and ducts.

In addition to the heavier wire mesh, aluminium can be up to 65% lighter, which is essential for lightweight screens. It is also flexible and can be used in applications where more rigid steel screens cannot be used, such as vents.

Choosing your wire mesh material

In general, our website provides detailed descriptions and pictures of many aluminium screens. For those unfamiliar with wire mesh terminology,2 mesh has two openings in square inches in each direction. You can easily put a pencil through the openings.

16 mesh is used for window or porch screens to keep out common insects. 60x40 mesh is a common size for kitchen taps. An 80 mesh has an opening that will barely fit through a human hair. A sheet of paper is approximately three thousandths (.003) of an inch.

Specification 

Types of Woven Wire Mesh

Type PC - plain crimp

Wire cloth with a square or rectangular pattern using equally sized warp threads and filler threads. The warp threads pass through the filling threads in an alternating pattern at adjacent intersections and underneath the filling threads.

Type IC - Clamping device

A wire cloth made with curled warp threads that are filled with filler threads at every other curl. Such a cloth provides superior rigidity and greater stability. Commonly used for screen and construction applications.

Type LC - Locking Crimp

A versatile wire cloth manufactured to maintain precise openings. Each intersection is woven from filler wires in straight sections of the warp. The filler wires are woven in an alternating pattern, from top to bottom.

Type FT - Flat Top Crimp

All crimps are offset to one side, producing a wire cloth with all wire surfaces on one flat surface at the top. This even surface allows the material to flow smoothly over the top surface of the cloth.

Construction Patterns

In addition to the above patterns, Xinghong is pleased to offer a variety of architectural patterns for your consideration. Crimp patterns with a compound line arrangement provide an attractive appearance. Wire combinations including round and flat wires are readily available for your most creative installations. All products are available in a wide range of alloys and popular examples can be found on the product page for architectural wire.
