Applications of Stainless Steel Woven Wire Mesh
Mesh is a critical component for many Wirco customers, used in racking and part containment throughout the heat-treating process. Wirco supplies stainless steel woven wire mesh in the form of basket liners, part layer dividers, and specialty-sized opening mesh for racking cylindrical parts — most Wirco baskets and fabricated racking designs incorporate woven mesh. Stainless steel woven wire mesh shows up in several critical heat-treating applications:
- Support trays and baskets: holds parts during heat treatment while allowing gases to flow freely for even, uniform processing
- Retort linings: provides a protective layer inside retorts, minimizing direct metal-to-wall contact and preventing contamination and wear
- Protective screens: shields furnace components and processed materials from debris and contaminants
- Catalyst carriers: serves as a carrier for catalysts in chemical heat-treatment processes, supporting efficient reactions
Benefits of Wirco's Woven Wire Mesh
- High-temperature resistance: Designed to withstand the intense heat of industrial furnaces, stainless steel woven mesh retains its structural integrity even in extreme conditions.
- Corrosion resistance: Exposure to oxidizing and carburizing atmospheres is no match for the corrosion-resistant properties of stainless steel, ensuring long-lasting performance.
- Strength and flexibility: The woven construction provides both tensile strength and flexibility, making it ideal for a range of applications.
- Custom fabrication: mesh opening size, wire diameter, and dimensions are built to match your specific basket, tray, or racking design, cast and fabricated at our Indiana and Illinois facilities from U.S.-sourced stainless steel
