Manufacturing Process and Applications of Metal Wire Mesh

Metal wire mesh, as a commonly used screening and filtration material, is widely used in various fields. Below we will introduce the manufacturing process of metal wire mesh and its applications.

Manufacturing Process

The manufacturing process of metal wire mesh includes four steps: material selection, wire drawing, mesh making, and surface treatment.

Material selection: The selection of materials for metal wire mesh is very important. Stainless steel, copper, aluminum, and titanium are commonly used materials. Different materials have different advantages and disadvantages, so it is necessary to choose the appropriate materials according to specific application requirements.

Wire drawing: The production of metal wire mesh requires wire drawing machines to draw metal wires through a series of processing technologies to become the main material of the wire mesh.

Mesh making: The processed metal wires are woven or welded by weaving machines or welding machines to form a net-like structure. Different processing methods will produce different mesh sizes and shapes.

Surface treatment: After the metal wire mesh is manufactured, surface treatment is also needed. This can include electroplating, painting, anodizing and other methods to enhance the corrosion resistance and aesthetics of the metal wire mesh.

Applications

Metal wire mesh is widely used in screening, filtering, isolation, and protection. Here are some common applications:

Chemical industry: Metal wire mesh can be used in catalyst carriers, filters, isolation membranes, and other areas, applied in chemical reactions, liquid separation, and purification.

Electronics industry: Metal wire mesh can be used in the protection of electronic components, EMI shielding and conductive connection, applied in the manufacturing and production of electronic devices.

Construction industry: Metal wire mesh can be used in the decoration of building exterior walls, interior decoration and partitions, with the characteristics of beauty, corrosion resistance, fire prevention, and other features.

Medical industry: Metal wire mesh can be used in medical device filters, artificial heart valve, applied in the manufacturing and production of medical devices.
