316 Stainless Steel Wire Mesh

316 Stainless Steel Wire Mesh is crafted from premium-grade 316 authentic stainless steel, known for its superior corrosion resistance, especially in chloride environments, due to the presence of molybdenum. This wire mesh is recognized for its uniform structure, high tensile strength, and excellent durability, making it suitable for a broad range of applications including marine environments, chemical processing, food and pharmaceutical industries, and architectural applications. The 316 stainless steel wire mesh is also favored for its non-magnetic properties and its ability to maintain integrity at elevated temperatures. Available in various weave styles, mesh sizes, and wire diameters, it can be supplied in rolls, sheets, or custom-fabricated forms to meet the specific requirements of diverse projects.
