304 and 316 stainless steel woven wire mesh are commonly used for filtration, sieving, and structural applications due to their corrosion resistance, strength, and durability. Here’s a breakdown of both:
304 Stainless Steel Woven Wire Mesh
Composition: Contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel.
Corrosion Resistance: Good resistance to oxidation and corrosion, suitable for general industrial and food applications.
Strength & Durability: High tensile strength and resistance to wear.
Common Uses: Food processing, industrial filtration, security screens, and sieves.
316 Stainless Steel Woven Wire Mesh
Composition: Similar to 304 but with the addition of 2-3% molybdenum.
Corrosion Resistance: Superior to 304, especially in saltwater and acidic environments.
Strength & Durability: Stronger than 304 and more resistant to chemical exposure.
Common Uses: Marine environments, pharmaceutical industries, medical applications, and chemical processing.
