Marine Grade 316 Stainless Steel Mesh Suppliers

There are several types of 316 stainless steel mesh available, each designed to meet specific requirements for different applications. Here are some common types:

• 316 Stainless Steel Woven Mesh: This is the most basic type of 316 stainless steel woven mesh, where the wires are woven together in a crisscross pattern. Woven mesh can be further classified based on weave patterns such as plain weave, twill weave, and Dutch weave, each offering different properties such as strength, filtration characteristics, and appearance.
• 316 Stainless Steel Welded Wire Mesh: In welded mesh, the wires are welded together at their intersections, creating a strong and durable mesh structure. Welded mesh is often used in applications where high strength and stability are required, such as fencing, security screens, and machine guards.
• 316 Stainless Steel Expanded Mesh: Expanded mesh is created by cutting and stretching a flat sheet of metal to form a mesh with diamond-shaped or hexagonal openings. 316 stainless steel expanded metal mesh offers good strength and rigidity while allowing for excellent airflow and visibility, making it suitable for applications such as ventilation grilles, walkways, and safety barriers.
• 316 Stainless Steel Perforated Mesh: Perforated mesh is formed by punching holes into a flat sheet of metal in a regular pattern. Perforated mesh is commonly used in applications where filtration, ventilation, or acoustic properties are required, such as speaker grilles, filters, and decorative panels.
• 316 Stainless Steel Knitted Mesh: Knitted mesh is produced by interlocking metal wires in a series of loops to form a flexible and compressible mesh structure. Knitted mesh is often used in applications such as gaskets, seals, and fluid filtration, where flexibility and resilience are important.
