Introduction to the characteristics and types of stainless steel wire mesh

May. 12, 2026

Stainless steel wire mesh, also known as stainless steel mesh, stainless steel sieve, stainless steel woven mesh, stainless steel crimped mesh, stainless steel filter mesh, stainless steel mesh belt, plain weave stainless steel wire mesh, and twill weave stainless steel wire mesh.


Features of stainless steel wire mesh:


◆ Excellent acid, alkali, and rust resistance;


◆ High strength, high tensile strength, toughness, and wear resistance, durable;


◆ Resistant to high-temperature oxidation; the nominal temperature resistance of 304 stainless steel sieve is 800 degrees Celsius, and that of 310S stainless steel sieve can reach 1150 degrees Celsius;


◆ Easy to process at room temperature, allowing for versatile applications;


◆ High surface finish, requiring no surface treatment, making maintenance convenient and simple.


Main Types of Stainless Steel Wire Mesh: Stainless steel wire mesh can be classified into 316 stainless steel mesh and 304 stainless steel mesh according to its material.


Advantages of 316 Stainless Steel Mesh: Due to the addition of Mo (Mo), 18Cr-12Ni-2.5Mo has particularly good corrosion resistance, atmospheric corrosion resistance, and high-temperature strength, allowing it to be used under harsh conditions. It is less susceptible to corrosion than other chromium-nickel stainless steels in salt water, sulfurous water, or halogen salts. Its corrosion resistance is superior to 304 stainless steel mesh, exhibiting excellent corrosion resistance in pulp and paper production processes. Furthermore, 316 stainless steel mesh is more resistant to marine and corrosive industrial atmospheres than 304 stainless steel mesh.


Applications of 316 Stainless Steel Mesh: 316 stainless steel mesh is mainly used for screening and filtration in acidic and alkaline environments, and also has applications in mining, chemical, food, and pharmaceutical industries.


Advantages of 304 Stainless Steel Mesh: 304 stainless steel mesh has excellent stainless corrosion resistance and good resistance to intergranular corrosion. Experiments showed that 304 stainless steel mesh exhibits strong corrosion resistance in nitric acid solutions with a concentration ≤65% and below the boiling temperature. It also demonstrates good corrosion resistance to alkaline solutions and most organic and inorganic acids.


Applications of 304 stainless steel mesh: 304 stainless steel mesh is mainly used for screening and filtration in acidic and alkaline environments, and also has applications in the mining, chemical, food, and pharmaceutical industries.
