Monel Wire Mesh

Monel wire mesh is made of monel alloy wire, a group of nickel-based alloys, divided into Monel 400 and Monel K500. 
Alloy 400 is a uniquely strong and durable material consisting primarily of copper and nickel. As a copper-nickel alloy, Monel 400 exhibits high strength and excellent corrosion resistance in a wide range of media, including seawater and acidic and alkaline environment. 
The alloy K500 has a higher tensile strength and hardness than Monel 400 due to the addition of aluminum. 
Monel wire mesh can be customized in terms of mesh size, wire diameter and dimensions to meet specific requirements. It has the different weave type, such as plain weave, twill weave, dutch weave, etc., to provide a series of filtration or screening capabilities widely used in the Marine industry in the pipeline system, filter basket, etc., can also be used in the petrochemical industry.

Monel Wire Mesh weaving method

Plain weave

Each warp wire alternately passes through the top and bottom of each weft wire to be 90°. The warp wire and weft wire are the same diameter and the opening size is the same;

Twill weave

Made by alternating each weft wire up and down two warp wire, interleaving on successive warp wire;

Dutch weaving

The warp wire adopts a thick mesh, the weft wire adopts a fine mesh, and the weft wire alternately passes up and down the two warp wire, forming a fine mesh in one direction, and a thick mesh in the other direction, forming a tight woven mesh with a conical or wedge opening;

Reverse dutch weave

Contrary to the layout of plain dutch weaving, the warp wire is made of fine mesh (mesh wire, woven wire mesh), the weft wire is made of thick mesh, and the number of wires is relatively small;

Five-Heddle weaving

Each warp wire alternately passes through the top and bottom of each weft wire to be 90°. The warp wire and weft wire are the same diameter and the opening size is the same.

Herringbone weave

It is a special twill weave mesh, and the direction of the twill fabric is reversed every 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 mm according to the width and specific use, forming a skeleton shape similar to that of herring;

Crimped weave

Heavy metal mesh formed by interlocking or nesting of embossed wire mesh, which is bent at specified intervals during crimping to maintain a precise mesh structure.

According to customer needs, customized monel wire mesh with different weaving methods.

Monel wire mesh is a high-performance metal mesh made from Monel alloys, primarily consisting of nickel (approximately 65–70%) and copper (28–33%), with trace amounts of iron, manganese, and other elements. Known for its exceptional corrosion resistance, high strength, and durability, Monel wire mesh is widely used in marine, chemical, and industrial applications where harsh conditions such as saltwater, acidic environments, or high temperatures are present. Its unique combination of mechanical and chemical properties makes it suitable for filtration, screening, protective barriers, and other specialized industrial applications.

Material Composition and Properties

Monel alloys are nickel-copper based, offering a balance of corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. Common grades used in wire mesh include Monel 400 and Monel K500:

• Monel 400 – Composed of approximately 63–70% nickel and 28–34% copper, this grade provides excellent corrosion resistance in seawater, chemical processing, and oxidizing environments. It is ductile, malleable, and suitable for forming into fine mesh.

• Monel K500 – Contains additional aluminum and titanium for improved strength through age hardening, offering both corrosion resistance and higher tensile strength, suitable for demanding industrial and marine applications.

Key Properties of Monel Wire Mesh:

1. Exceptional Corrosion Resistance – Highly resistant to seawater, acidic and alkaline solutions, oxidizing agents, and industrial chemicals.

2. High Strength and Toughness – Maintains structural integrity under stress and high-temperature conditions.

3. Temperature Resistance – Operates effectively in both elevated and moderately low temperatures.

4. Durability and Longevity – Resistant to wear, fatigue, and environmental degradation, ensuring long-term service life.

5. Non-Magnetic – Useful in applications requiring non-magnetic properties, such as electronic and laboratory equipment.

6. Flexibility and Workability – Can be woven, formed, and fabricated into a variety of shapes without compromising its performance.

Manufacturing Process

The production of Monel wire mesh involves several key steps:

1. Wire Drawing – Monel rods are drawn through a series of dies to reduce diameter to the desired wire thickness. This process increases tensile strength and ensures uniformity.

2. Annealing – Heat treatment improves ductility, allowing the wires to bend and weave without cracking.

3. Weaving – Wires are interlaced into mesh patterns using specialized looms. Common weave types include:

   • Plain Weave – Over-and-under pattern providing uniform openings and balanced strength.

   • Twill Weave – Diagonal pattern offering higher strength and tighter openings.

   • Dutch Weave – Dense warp and fine weft arrangement, suitable for precise filtration under high pressure.

Monel wire mesh can be supplied in sheets, rolls, or custom shapes, including cylinders, cones, or panels, depending on the specific application.
