Titanium | Nickel Alloy | FeCrAl | Tungsten wire mesh

A metal mesh may be woven, knitted, welded, expanded, perforated, photo-chemically etched from steel or other metal materials.

The following are some photos as reference.

• Woven

• Knitted

• Welded

• Expanded

• Perforated

• Photo-chemically etched

Please note: We are a manufacturer of different kinds of metal woven wire meshes and also provide related deep processing products.

So metal mesh refers to woven wire mesh if without any special introductions. But it only applicable to this website.

Hope can get your understand.

Wire mesh typically refers to woven wire mesh. In addition, it may means knitted wire mesh, welded wire mesh or other types of mesh. See photos of them above.

• Woven mesh is interlaced with warp and weft (woof / filling) wires at right angles. So two distinct sets of wires are both straight and running parallel when woven. Different interlacing of wires, different the weave type. For instance: plain, twill, plain dutch and twill dutch weave type.

• In comparison to woven wire mesh, the wire in knitted wire mesh is meandering. Therefore, the mesh can stretch in all directions. So knitted mesh is more elasticity than woven type.
• Welded wire mesh is a mesh where a series of parallel longitudinal wires welded to cross wires.

Wire mesh can be used in a wide range of environments. But requirements of material, mesh sizes, shape and others are typically different for different applications. For example:

• Battery collector may needs fine nickel mesh.

• Fine copper mesh can shield emi / rfi. So Faraday cage often use it.

• 304 SS fine wire mesh is suitable for filtering and screening out something unwanted. For instance:
  • Firstly, cold brew coffee filter (popular micron sizes are 100 / 120 / 150)

• • Secondly, beer brewing basket (300 / 400 / 800 micron are the common sizes of the mesh)

• • Thirdly, coffee filter disc
    • Woven

• • • Etching

• Wire gauze is mostly a round disc or a square sheet. Stainless steel is also its common material. (mainly plain / coarse mesh) Therefore, it can support glassware.

• Stainless steel mesh can also be used for screening out insects in window, just as a wine glass cover, or others.

Titanium is a non-magnetic metal with a metallic-white (silver) color, high strength, low density, quite ductile, relatively high melting point.

Therefore, titanium wire mesh can resistant to corrosion in sea water and aqua regia. Moreover, it can endure environments which contain dilute sulfuric and hydrochloric acids, chloride solutions, and most organic acids.

However, titanium wire cloth isn’t completely corrosion-proof. For example, titanium mesh screen may be corroded by concentrated acids.

Titanium screen mesh may be woven, knitted, expanded.

• Woven titanium mesh is a fabric / cloth where warp and weft wires pass over one, two or more, and then under the next one, two or more successive wires in both sides. Plain, twill, plain dutch, twill dutch weaves are different because of their different interlacing of two distinct sets of wires.
• Titanium expanded mesh is a metal mesh-like material which has been cut and stretched to form a regular pattern (often diamond-shaped).
• Knitted titanium mesh is the same as knitted stainless steel mesh except with different metal material.

It is a hard, malleable and ductile metal.

Nickel is slowly oxidized by air at or near room temperature.  Therefore, its resistance to corrosion is good.

The electrical and thermal conductivity of Nickel is also good.

Nickel is magnetic at approximately room temperature.

Nickel 200 vs 201: In comparison to nickel 200, nickel 201 has almost the same nominal elements. However, its carbon content is low.

We also call it nickel mesh screen, nickel wire mesh, nickel woven mesh, pure nickel mesh, pure nickel wire mesh, fine nickel mesh (for meshes with high mesh size), nickel micro mesh.

Mesh count of nickel mesh can up to 400, and popular mesh sizes are 150 200 365 and 400.

Monel is a group of nickel alloy, primarily composed of nickel (from 52% to 67%), copper, and also contains small amounts of iron, manganese, carbon, and silicon.

Its thermal conductivity is better than Inconel. That’s because of the addition of copper.

Yes, monel screen provides good weldability.

No.

Monel is a family of nickel alloy. For example, Monel 400, Monel K-500, Monel 401 and Monel 405 belong to Monel.

However, alloy 400 only refers to Monel 400.

So we can say alloy 400 belongs to Monel. But they are not exactly the same as each other.

Yes, Monel 400 mesh is corrosion resistant in a range of acidic and alkaline environments. Moreover, mesh is suitable for reducing conditions.

Monel mesh screen also has high strength, good ductility and thermal conductivity.

So Monel 400 woven wire mesh is typically used for applications in marine engineering, chemical and hydrocarbon processing, heat exchangers, valves, and pumps.

No, Inconel isn’t a titanium, and is a group of austenitic nickel-chromium-based superalloys. But titanium is the main content for Titanium.

Inconel alloy 600 is a material contains Ni (≥72.0%), Cr (14.0%-17.0%), Fe (6.0%-10.0%), Mn (≤1.0%), Cu (≤0.5%), Si (≤0.5%), C (≤0.15%), S (≤0.015%).

The main chemical composition of Inconel 625 is Nickel (≥58.0%), Chromium (20.0%-23.0%), Iron (≤5.0%), Molybdenum (8.0%-10.0%).

Inconel 625 is a high strength metal with good weldability. It also resistant to acid, corrosion, oxidation and elevated temperatures.

So Inconel 625 wire mesh fits a range of industries. For instance, the chemical processing industry.

It’s also suited for furnaces, marine or nuclear applications, and other equipments. For instance: specialized seawater equipment and high pressure equipment.

Inconel screen have good corrosion and heat resistance properties. So it suits for many environments where pressure and heat are required. Moreover, we usually use it as heat resistant mesh fabric and high temperature screen mesh.

In comparison to Monel mesh, Inconel wire cloth provides good resistance to oxidation and heat due to addition of chromium.

Some Inconel meshes are difficult to be welded. For example alloy X-750

However, several other meshes (such as Inconel 625 or 718) have good weldability.

Tungsten’s symbol is W.
