N/A

Welded wire mesh specifications are commonly used in a wide array of industrial and non-industrial applications, including animal caging, critter and varmint control, agricultural use, air vents, basket fabrication, food applications, aviary and bird screen, industrial separation fan and machine guards, security retention, basket fabrication, industrial separation and soffit screens.

Residential do-it-yourselfers gravitate towards these specific items because they offer tremendous value and versatility for projects around the home. In most normal environments, stainless steel will have a longer life cycle than a comparable galvanized mesh.

It is important to distinguish between T-304 stainless steel and T-316 stainless steel. T-304 stainless steel is more popular and more widespread in it use, while T-316 stainless steel is generally reserved for marine environments as it offers a higher resistance to corrosion.

N/A T-316 stainless steel is recognized as the second most widely available of all stainless steels in the wire mesh industry. T-316 stainless steel wire mesh is typically considered an alternative grade to T-304 stainless steel wire mesh and preferred in certain circumstances. Particularly, in marine environments and in applications requiring heavy welding, T-316 stainless steel is commonly specified due to its many benefits.

T-316 stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance, and in particular, performs well in its ability to resist pitting and crevice corrosion in warm chloride environments. The inclusion of molybdenum (Mo) is a major factor for the improved corrosion resistance versus a T-304 stainless steel counterpart.

T-316 stainless steel is heat resistant and has good oxidation resist resistance to a temperature of approximately 1600 ºF in intermittent service and to a temperature of 1700 ºF in continuous service. T-316 stainless steel is also excellent for fabrication purposes - it can be formed and cut to size with appropriate tools and machinery. It also has outstanding weldability, and it is virtually non-magnetic in the annealed condition.

T-316 stainless steel is available in both woven and welded constructions - both from stock and through custom manufacturing. The standard chemical composition for T-316 stainless steel commonly used in the wire mesh and wire cloth industry.

Many of these meshes are specified for use in heat treating, food processing and particle separation. The automotive, refinery and marine industries routinely use many of these meshes. Architect and designers use these meshes for unique and interesting designs like infill panels, room dividers and decorative signage in environments that require better corrosion resistance than T-304 stainless steel.
