In the wire mesh industry, plain steel – or carbon steel, as it sometimes referred to—is a very popular metal that is commonly manufactured in both woven and welded wire mesh specifications. It is comprised primarily of iron (Fe) with a small amount of carbon (C). It is a relatively low cost option that is versatile and widespread in its use.
Plain steel wire mesh, whether it is available from stock or custom manufactured, is strong, durable and magnetic. Oftentimes, it is dark in color, particularly when compared to bright aluminum or stainless steel meshes. Plain steel does not resist corrosion and will rust in most atmospheric conditions; because of this, in certain industries, plain steel wire mesh is a disposable item.
The specifications featured here range in opening size from approximately 1/2” to 1/4" and are used in a wide array of industrial and non-industrial applications. Users tend to gravitate toward the 2 x 2 Mesh and 4 x 4 Mesh specifications because they are available from stock, or can be quickly manufactured, depending upon a customer’s requirements. These items are versatile, durable and are commonly used as window guards, as shaker screens, by the mining and coal industries, in cabinets and wine lockers and in unique architectural and decorative applications, like wall coverings, building projects or artistic sculptures.
