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 range in opening size from approximately 1/32" to 1/64" and are items that many users select for general industrial use. Darby specializes in stocking many of the standard or market grade specifications, as well as some of the harder to procure items that are used in unique applications.
Many of these items can be used in filtration and separation applications. Some of these items can also be used in instances where air flow is needed. Others of these specifications can be used in scientific applications. 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.
