Stainless Steel Wire Mesh weaving method

Plain weave

Each warp wire, weft wire alternately passes through the top and bottom of each 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 by 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.

Stainless steel wire mesh is a highly versatile and durable material widely used across industrial, commercial, and architectural applications. Made from high-quality stainless steel wires, the mesh offers excellent resistance to corrosion, oxidation, and high temperatures while maintaining superior strength, flexibility, and longevity. The combination of these properties makes stainless steel wire mesh suitable for demanding environments where reliability, durability, and precision are critical.

Manufacturing Process
The production of stainless steel wire mesh involves drawing stainless steel into fine wires and weaving them into various mesh patterns. Common weave types include plain weave, twill weave, and dutch weave, each offering unique characteristics in terms of strength, porosity, and filtration capability. Plain weave is the simplest and most common, where the weft wire passes alternately over and under each warp wire. Twill weave, on the other hand, creates a diagonal pattern that allows for tighter openings and greater strength. Dutch weave, with its dense warp and fine weft arrangement, is designed for precise filtration and high-pressure applications.

The wires can be made from different grades of stainless steel, such as 304, 316, 316L, and 310, depending on the application requirements. Grade 304 offers excellent corrosion resistance and is suitable for general applications, whereas 316 and 316L are more resistant to chemicals and seawater, making them ideal for marine and chemical processing environments. Grade 310 can withstand extremely high temperatures, suitable for furnace applications.

Key Properties

1. Corrosion Resistance – Stainless steel wire mesh is highly resistant to rust and corrosion, even in harsh environments, including humid, acidic, or saline conditions.

2. High Strength – The woven structure provides excellent mechanical strength and durability, capable of withstanding heavy loads, tension, and mechanical stress.

3. Temperature Resistance – Stainless steel maintains its strength and integrity at both high and low temperatures, making it suitable for applications ranging from freezing environments to high-temperature industrial processes.

4. Chemical Resistance – It can resist corrosion from many chemicals, including acids, alkalis, and salts, which makes it suitable for use in chemical processing plants, laboratories, and filtration systems.

Customization and Fabrication
Stainless steel wire mesh can be customized to meet specific requirements:

• Mesh Count and Aperture Size – Fine mesh for microfiltration or coarse mesh for heavy screening.

• Wire Diameter – Thicker wires for strength or thinner wires for precise filtration.

• Weave Type – Plain, twill, or dutch weave based on the application.

• Shape and Form – Sheets, rolls, cylindrical elements, cones, or custom shapes to fit equipment and structures.

• Surface Finish – Polished, galvanized, or passivated to enhance corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal.

Maintenance and Longevity
Stainless steel wire mesh is low-maintenance. Regular cleaning using water, mild detergents, or non-abrasive brushes is sufficient to maintain performance and appearance. In industrial environments, high-pressure washing or ultrasonic cleaning can be used for heavily contaminated mesh. Proper maintenance ensures long service life and consistent filtration, screening, or protective performance.
