There are various types of stainless steel wire used for different applications. The common materials include SUS201, 304, 304L, 316, 316L, 431, and 321 stainless steel wire. Special materials like 410/430, 310S, and 904L stainless steel wire are also available for specific purposes. The use of UNS S31803(S32205) duplex stainless steel wire and UNS S32750 Super duplex stainless steel wire is also gaining popularity due to their superior properties.

Wire diameter is an essential consideration when selecting a stainless steel wire. It ranges from 0.015mm to 2.8mm, depending on the application. The diameter of the wire affects the strength, flexibility and corrosion resistance of the material and thus, should be selected carefully to meet the specific application requirements.

Mesh counts determine the number of wire strands per inch in a mesh. They are classified into plain/twill weave and Dutch weave. The plain/twill weave has a range of 2-635 mesh, while the Dutch weave has a range of 12*64-500*3200 mesh. The mesh count selection should be based on the intended use, such as filtration, separation and sizing, among others.

In acidic and alkaline environments, screening and filtration are essential processes. These conditions require materials that are resistant to the corrosive nature of the substances being handled. Sieving and filtering are important in a variety of industries, including:

• The petroleum industry, where mesh is used for mud filtration to remove contaminants.
• The chemical fiber industry, where screen mesh is used to separate fibers of different sizes and to remove impurities.
• The plating industry, where acid cleaning mesh is used to remove residual impurities and contaminants from metal parts prior to plating.

Efficient sieving and filtering is crucial in all of these industries to ensure the quality and purity of the finished products. Choosing the appropriate mesh material and size is important to achieve the desired level of filtration. In addition, regular maintenance and cleaning of the mesh is necessary to ensure its effectiveness in performing its intended function over time.
