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 represent items that many users select for general industrial use. Darby specializes in stocking many of the standard or market grade specifications, which are commonly used in various sifting, filtering and separating applications, including oil strainers.

While industrials users tend to use many of these specifications, non-industrial users also tend to gravitate toward these items because they offer versatility and durability. Some of these items are used for radiator covers, fireplace screen, furniture use and unique decorative designs.
