Stainless steel mesh is an iron alloy that consists of at least 10.5% of chromium which makes the material resistant to corrosion by giving it a top layer of oxide on its passive surface. This material composition enables the material achieve its high strength and long durability, making it the number one option for variety of metal applications. There is no wonder why steel mesh, wire, and cable have become the popular metal choice for industrial application.
One of the most important properties of the metal alloy is that it does not let rust to form on its surface. This makes steel mesh perfect for outdoor and even underground systems where contact to water or moisture, chemicals and grime are very common. In addition to corrosion resistance, other characteristics of the material includes chemical inertness, heat resistance, toughness, flexibility, resistance to weather, good tensile strength, outstanding dielectric properties, extreme durability, and non-flammability.
While there are a variety of other wire materials that Ferrier Wire offers, a steel mesh in particular is a perfect solution for both high-temperature and low temperature setting applications. It can specifically withstand the harsh weather environments. And since it is very resistant to abrasion, wear, abrasion, and moisture, it is the best fit for use in harsh and rugged industrial applications, such as excavating, dredging, logging, used in cranes, and even in locating wires for natural gas pipes. These are just some of its numerous uses. Add to this the artistic and craft making application that can create an outstanding element in many architectural designs.
