AISI 304 Stainless Steel Wire Mesh

-Stainless steel mesh is the most popular woven screen in the industrial world. 

-Also called 18-8 due to 18% chromium and 8% nickel. 

-Stainless mesh screen and wire cloth is used where clean long lasting vents, filters, or grilles are needed .

-These meshes are used for sorting and screening of abrasives, liquids, powders and other solids. 

-AISI 304 is less expensive, stronger, but not as corrosion resistant as AISI 316.

-SISI 304 is the basic stainless alloy, and unless another alloy specified it is assumed that this type is acceptable.

 

AISI 316 Stainless Steel Wire Mesh

-Special corrosion resistant Stainless Steel

-High resistance to corrosion by salts, acids, and seawater

-Also called 18-10 Stainless Steel due to 18% chromium and 10% nickel

-For marine and industrial environments

-Use with medical, pharmaceutical, laboratory, semiconductor, food processing, marine, waste water, and water purification equipments
