Stainless Steel Type 304 consists of 18% chromium and 8% nickel; it is the most popular of all types of Stainless Steel. Stainless Steel 304 can easily withstand outdoor exposure without rusting and resists oxidation at elevated temperatures of up to 1400 Degrees Fahrenheit.  Stainless Steel Type 304 wire mesh is strong, cost effective, and has high consumer appeal. It is used for a variety of applications, including filtration in oilfield, aerospace, chemical, hot gas, water purification, beverage, food and pharmaceutical industries, mining, chemical, water and wastewater industries, for sorting and screening of abrasives, liquids, powders and other solids. WIRE CLOTH MANufacturers carries Stainless Steel Type 304 in both standard and low carbon variations.

Stainless Steel Type 316

Stainless Steel Type 316 adds 2% molybdenum to the compound; type 316 is a direct derivative of its counterpart, Stainless Steel Type 304. Stainless Steel 316 is the second most widely used form of wire mesh within the industry. It is marked by excellent resistance to heat and corrosion resistance by salts, acids and seawater. Strong, sturdy, stable, and durable Stainless Steel Type 316 is very beneficial across many applications. It is commonly used for fabrication purposes and can be cut to size with appropriate tools and machinery. Stainless Steel 316 wire mesh is useful in various industries including marine technologies, rubber and plastic machinery, refinery and oil field, aerospace, automotive, food preparation and processing just to name a few. WIRE CLOTH MANufacturers carries Stainless Steel Type 316 in both standard and low carbon variations.
