Metal wire mesh consists of metal, wire and mesh. Wire mainly is made from metal material or nonmetal materials. Mesh is basis on the wire, through weaving to net variable sharps, sizes, specs.
Main application of Metal wire mesh
Wire mesh is one of our Chinese leading and traditional industries. It is applied to expending fields concerning science research, manufacture and daily life. With the rapid development of scientific technology, it has been involving petrel, chimerical industry, automobile, food, construction, and high technical field.
The special English and technical terms for wire mesh
Crack: the cracks, cleft, split of the steel wire
Fracturing: the surface of steel wire appears crack in horizontal direction. It looks like spinule.
Chasm: crack lies in the steel wire by way of part of whole.
Scars:The surface of steel wire produces yellow oxidized scars, white limestone scars.
CINCH MARKS :Wire surface apparently exists longitudinal groove or convex, which do harm to smooth surface
Pucker: there is the metal overlap along the length of the wire surface. The overlap is the curve shape or hackle
Concave surface: some part of the wire surface is concave.
Rust: wire surface is of part or the whole oxidation phenomena.
Hard spots: its surface appears concave when it is oxidized drastically.
Helicoids: it is formed when the wire is straightened and the wire surface is of threaded shape.
Oxide: steel wire surface is exposed to the high-temperature oxidation furnace gas. The effects eventually produce a layer of hard and friable compound on wire surface.
Oxide film: a thin layer of dense oxide is formed on the surface of wire. This oxide is so durable and wont fall down unless it is bent.
Decarburized layer: the surface of steel wire will be decarburized when it is heated due to the chemist of air media and steel surface
Graphitized carbon: some of all of the carbon of the steel exists in the Free State, which is named graphitized carbon.
Crease: some part of the net surface is folded, which is beyond retrieve.
BROKEN HOLE : the Net surface many wires of longitude or woof are broken
Corrosion: net surface is corroded.
Rust-spotting: the net surface is of green, brown, or heterochromatic small spots.
Broken wire: single wire of warp or weft is broken
Looped weft: some wires of weft are bent, leading to make mesh deformed.
Doubling wire: two wires or more are woven side by side .
Skipped wire: some part of warp or weft woven unbalanced.
Loose wire: some wire of weft or warp is loosed and relocated.
Debris : Debris inside the woven network
Unbalanced hole: the mesh is inequality in the aperture.
Wire Dia —that is the wire diameter.
Warp—all the woven wire in vertical direction.
Weft—all of the woven wire in the horizontal direction.
Mesh—the number of holes within 1 inch.
Density—the number of holes within 1 centimeter.
Aperture—the distance between two wires in warp or weft.
