Factors Affecting the Material Properties of Stainless Steel Woven Mesh

We all know that the market for stainless steel woven mesh is very broad, and there are more and more manufacturers. So how much do you know about its material? Just a brief introduction today.

Stainless steel woven mesh, as the name suggests, is the stainless steel material used. A large amount of nickel is added to this material in order to obtain a single austenite structure (austenite structure, directly speaking, it is a face-centered cubic crystal obtained by dissolving carbon in pure iron). Corrosion resistance, good plasticity and toughness at room temperature are necessary conditions for the processing technology of woven mesh.

In addition, chromium can also be added at the same time. When chromium and nickel are used together, the function of stainless steel will be improved to a higher level, because chromium will form a passivation film when oxidation occurs, which can effectively prevent oxidation from proceeding, thus ensuring Stainless steel quality. There is also the impact of impurities on the performance of stainless steel. The impurities here refer to carbon. If the carbon content is too high, a large amount of chromium carbide will be formed during processing, which will affect the efficacy of chromium and reduce the corrosion resistance of stainless steel. Therefore, the carbon content should be controlled within a certain range, probably between 0.03% and 0.1%. Neither too much nor too little will do. 

The factors affecting the material of stainless steel generally include the above three aspects, and the specific operation needs to master enough professional knowledge. After all, no technology can not produce high-quality woven mesh.
