Brass woven wire mesh is comprised of copper and zinc. A chemical composition of 65% Copper - 35% Zinc (a.k.a., 270 Yellow Brass) is recognized as the standard for stocked wire mesh in the industry. 70% Copper – 30% Zinc (a.k.a., 260 High Brass) is typically reserved for custom manufacturing. The presence of zinc in brass wire mesh is important because it provides added abrasion resistance and allows for higher tensile strengths. Because brass mesh is primarily composed of copper, it maintains many of copper’s unique characteristics, namely softness, malleability and resistance to certain acids.
The medium wire mesh specifications featured here range in opening size from approximately 1/16” to 1/64” and represent some of the more common brass wire mesh specifications that industrial customers request. These items are available from stock or can be custom manufactured, depending upon the customer’s requirements. Brass mesh is popular in a wide array of general industrial applications, including air filtration, liquid separation, marine use and high-performance aerospace.
Also, due to its unique golden color and unique characteristics, brass wire mesh is used in decorative, architectural and even artistic applications.
