Low carbon steel wire mesh is the most common plain steel alloy used in manufacturing industrial wire cloth screens due to its tensile strength and high impact resistance. Primarily comprised of iron, low carbon grades 1005, 1006, and 1008 are the most frequently used, and contain small percentages of carbon (0.0-0.1%), manganese (0.0-0.5% – which increases its strength), phosphorous (0.0-0.04%), and sulfur (0.0-0.05%). Low abrasion resistance and low corrosion resistance may limit usage in certain applications, however a wide variety of special protective coatings may be applied to improve resistance. Galvanizing (before or after) is the most economical way to protect against corrosion. Alternatively, a protective tin coating is often used on mud grade screens (tinned mill). In addition, steel wire cloth can be protected with epoxy coatings, PVC/ inyl coatings, and our electrostatic application of powder coating. Some characteristics of low carbon steel wire cloth which dictate its wide use are:
Low carbon plain steel alloy.
Relatively low cost and high strength material.
Magnetic in all conditions.
Not corrosion resistant; rusts in most atmospheric environments.
Protective coatings can be applied to improve resistance.
Can be cut, formed, and welded.

Material: Stainless Steel 304 or 316.
High tensile strength steel wire can prevent poultry from biting.
Hot dipped galvanized surface make hardware cloth excellent corrosion and rust resistance.
Solid structure can defend predators from attacking poultry.
Extended outside or buried underground design can keep predators out and poultry in.
Lightweight is easy to install and uninstall.
e. Hardware cloth has smooth surface, which there is no sharp edges may hurt poultry.
Used combined with welded wire mesh panel or chain link fence panel to improve the ety coefficient and protect poultry and animals.
