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.

The specifications featured here represent some of the finest wire cloth presently available in the industry. These fine and ultra-fine wire mesh specifications have a cloth-like characteristic to them, but they also have the same durability and corrosion resistance found in the coarser stainless steel wire meshes.

Often times, these specifications are reserved for high performance used in industries, like aerospace, science research and special technologies. These items, especially the more common standard or market grades, are available from stock in full 100FT rolls. These rolls can be cut down to size, particularly if the mesh is part of a fabricate assembly. The common thread among all of these uses is that T-316 stainless steel is often preferred when a higher level of corrosion resistance is needed, compared to T-304 stainless steel.

Non-industrial users also find some of these specifications useful in various decorative and artistic applications.
