Brass Wire Mesh

Brass wire mesh is a widely used screening material known for its superior abrasion resistance and enhanced corrosion resistance compared to pure copper. It is typically composed of 80% copper and 20% zinc, resulting in a durable alloy that maintains its bright finish over time, unlike copper, which darkens with age. Brass wire mesh offers higher tensile strength than copper but with a slight reduction in formability.

Popular Industries and Applications

• Energy Storage: Brass wire mesh is extensively used in energy storage systems due to its durability and corrosion resistance. It plays a critical role in the structural components of batteries and capacitors.
• Electric Heaters: In electric heaters, brass mesh serves as an effective conductive and heat-resistant element, facilitating efficient heat transfer and distribution.
• Pest Control Fumigation: Utilized in fumigation processes, brass mesh acts as a barrier that ensures secure containment of chemicals while allowing air and fumes to circulate effectively.
• Tactical Shelters & Modular Containers: Brass wire mesh is incorporated into tactical shelters and modular containers for military and emergency use, providing reinforced structural integrity and resistance to environmental factors.
• Robotics & Power Automation: In robotics and power automation, brass mesh contributes to the protection of delicate components and enhances electromagnetic shielding capabilities.
• Gamma Irradiators: Used in the construction of gamma irradiators, brass mesh ensures precise and safe operation by shielding and filtering gamma radiation.
• Health, Body, and Mind Enrichment: Brass mesh finds applications in therapeutic devices and equipment, supporting health and wellness industries through innovative uses that leverage its conductive properties.
• Space Program Initiatives (NASA): NASA utilizes brass wire mesh in various applications within spacecrafts and experimental gear, benefiting from its resistance to space-related corrosive environments and its thermal properties.
• Metalsmithing & Bookbinding: Brass mesh is prized in artistic fields such as metalsmithing and bookbinding for its aesthetic qualities and workability, adding both functionality and decorative value.
• Air & Liquid Filtration and Separation: Due to its fine weave and chemical stability, brass wire mesh is ideal for filtration systems, effectively separating and filtering particulates in both air and liquid applications.

Bronze Wire Mesh

Huansi Wire Mesh Products Co., Ltd. provides bronze wire mesh products in a range of types and specifications, tailored to cover a broad spectrum of applications.

Bronze wire mesh, particularly phosphor bronze, consists of a composition of copper (94%), tin (4.75%), and phosphorus (0.25%). This alloy combines the strength and durability of copper with the corrosion resistance and ductility of tin, enhanced further by the phosphorus. These characteristics make phosphor bronze wire mesh exceptionally resilient and corrosion-resistant, with physical properties that outperform standard copper and zinc alloys.

Typically produced in finer meshes, such as 100 x 100 or finer, phosphor bronze wire mesh offers excellent strength while maintaining fine filtration capabilities. Its anti-corrosive properties make it ideal for applications that require durability in harsh environments. The material is also valued for its high electrical conductivity and wear resistance, providing reliable performance across various industrial, commercial, and architectural applications.

Materials

Phosphor bronze wire mesh, a strong and corrosion-resistant material, is created from an alloy that primarily includes copper, tin, zinc, and phosphorus. The composition varies across three key grades:
