Aluminum Wire Mesh: Lightweight Strength for Industrial and Architectural

Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, aluminum wire mesh is ideal for a variety of applications including architectural designs, automotive, and aerospace industries. It’s valued for its versatility, ease of handling, and its resistance to rust.

JD Hardware Wire Mesh Co., Ltd specializes in producing and exporting aluminum wire mesh products. Our aluminum wire mesh, made from this versatile metal, includes not only aluminum but also elements like copper, magnesium, manganese, and silicon, enhancing its properties. This unique composition ensures the mesh is exceptionally lightweight, approximately one-third the weight of stainless steel meshes, while maintaining strength and durability. The aluminum wire mesh we manufacture is highly resistant to corrosion in various environments, though it is vulnerable to specific alkaline solutions and acids such as hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acids. With a melting point of around 650°C, it demonstrates remarkable stability in high-temperature applications. Another key feature of our aluminum wire mesh is its cost-effectiveness, making it an economically attractive option for a wide range of industries. JD Hardware Wire Mesh Co., Ltd is dedicated to providing high-quality aluminum wire mesh solutions, designed to meet the diverse requirements of these dynamic sectors. JD, as a major supplier of aluminum woven wire mesh, primarily stocks standard grades of aluminum in alloys 5052 and 5154, which are part of the 5000 series. This series is characterized by the addition of magnesium as the main secondary element, providing hardness and excellent corrosion resistance, especially in marine environments.
