Wire Materials: Type **4, Type **4 L, Type **6
and Type **6 L.
Type **4 often refers to as "***8" (*8% chromium,
8% nickel ). T***4 is the basic stainless alloy
mostly commonly utilized for wire cloth weaving.
It withstands outdoor exposure without rusting
and resists oxidation at an elevated temperature
up to ***0 Degrees Fahrenheit. Type **4 L is very
similar to T***4, the difference being the
reduced carbon content for better weaving and
secondary welding characteristics.
Type **6: Stabilized by the addition of 2%
molybdenum, T***6 is an "***8" alloy. Type **6
has better resistance to pitting corrosion than
the other chromium-nickel stainless steels where
brines, sulfur-bearing water or halogen salts,
such as chlorides are present. Type **6 L: Type
**6 L is very similar to T***6, the difference
being the reduced carbon content for better wire
cloth weaving and secondary welding
characteristics.
Weaving Patterns:
Plain Weave
Twill Weave
Dutch Plain Weave
Dutch Twill Weave
Some Special Patterns
Weaving patterns applied for wire mesh or wire
cloth can be plain weave, twill weave, Dutch
plain weave or Dutch twill weave.
Plain Weave Wire Mesh and Twill Weave Wire Mesh
form a square opening with equal mesh count
horizontally or vertically. Hence woven wire mesh
plain weave or twill weave is also called square
opening wire mesh, or single layer wire mesh.
Dutch Plain Woven Wire Cloth has a coarser mesh
and wire in the warp direction and a finer mesh
and wire in the weft direction. Dutch Plain Woven
Wire Cloth makes an ideal filter cloth with a
very compact, firm mesh with great strength.
Dutch Twill Woven Wire Cloth offers higher
strength than regular Dutch woven wire cloth. It
packs even more wires in a given area than Dutch
plain woven wire cloth. Generally, Dutch Twill
Woven Wire Cloth offers finer mesh counts and
lower flow than other Dutch Woven Wire Cloth
