What is the difference between stainless steel wire mesh and wire mesh of other materials?

There are some differences in performance and application between stainless steel wire mesh and wire mesh made of other materials, depending mainly on the characteristics of the material. Here are some common differences:

Corrosion resistance:

Stainless steel wire mesh: Stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance, can resist corrosion from most chemicals, and is suitable for humid and corrosive environments.

Other materials: Other metals such as copper, aluminum, etc. may not perform as well as stainless steel in corrosive environments.

Strength:

Stainless steel wire mesh: Stainless steel has high strength, wear resistance, and pressure resistance, and is suitable for applications requiring higher strength.

Other materials: Other materials may be slightly less strong than stainless steel.

High temperature resistance:

Stainless steel wire mesh: Stainless steel has good high temperature resistance and is suitable for applications in high temperature environments.

Other materials: Other materials may deform or degrade under high temperatures.
 

Cost:

Stainless steel wire mesh: Stainless steel is relatively expensive and the production cost will also increase accordingly.

Other materials: Other materials such as copper, aluminum, etc. may be more cost competitive.

Depending on the specific needs and application environment, it is very important to choose the right material for the wire mesh.
