Aluminum Wire Mesh

Aluminum Wire Mesh

Aluminum is largely considered the most popular non-ferrous metal in theworld, and as such, aluminum alloys are commonly used in the wiremesh industry. Aluminum alloys are composed primarily of aluminum,and also contain other elements like copper, magnesium, manganese, orsilicon.

Aluminum wire mesh

Aluminum woven wire mesh is lightweight; in fact, a good rule of thumb isthat, when compared to its stainless steel counterpart, aluminum meshis approximately 1/3rd the weight of stainless. Aluminum wire mesh isalso corrosion resistant in most normal environments but will corrodequickly in the presence of alkaline solutions and hydrochloric andhydrofluoric acids. With an estimated melting point of 650°c,aluminum has many benefits, including a relatively low cost comparedto other meshes. Aluminum woven wire mesh is a popular choice for awide array of industries including aerospace and automotive, as wellas marine and electrical conductivity applications.

Asa large supplier of aluminum woven wire mesh, JD specializes inmanufacturing various grades of aluminum woven wire mesh ,such asalloy 5052 ,5154 and so on. As indicated in the chart below, the 5000series of aluminum contains magnesium which is the main secondaryelement. This inclusion of magnesium serves as a hardener and offersgood corrosion resistance in marine atmospheres.
