Stainless Steel Wire and Mesh

Wire and mesh use different order languages, so the RFQ must connect diameter, condition or weave to the downstream forming or filtration task. General forming wire, spring wire, welding wire and fine wire can share an alloy name while requiring different standards, mechanical conditions and package formats. Woven mesh and welded mesh add a second geometry created from the wire. Start by naming the product form and application rather than requesting a grade and diameter without its intended processing or filtration duty.

Wire orders should state diameter and tolerance, temper or tensile range, surface, cast and helix where they affect feeding or forming. Spring production may depend on consistent pay-off and mechanical condition, while welding wire also needs the applicable consumable specification and package compatibility. Define spool, carrier, coil or straightened length, flange and barrel dimensions where relevant, unit weight and pay-off direction. A nominal wire diameter does not establish winding quality or whether the package fits the buyer’s equipment.

Mesh should be described by wire diameter and clear aperture or mesh count, together with weave type, width, length and edge condition. Mesh count alone can describe different openings when wire diameter changes. State plain, twill, Dutch or other weave only where it belongs to the required specification, and identify aperture tolerance or sample approval when filtration performance depends on geometry. Selvage, raw, trimmed and cut edges behave differently during installation; cut panels may also need squareness, flatness and protected sharp edges.

Send cleaning or passivation, interleaving, core diameter, roll orientation and labeling with the RFQ. We quote alloy condition, mesh geometry, sample plan and package size from that complete inquiry.
