What is crimped wire mesh?

Crimped wire mesh (also known as space cloth) is a woven wire mesh that is formed by bending before forming. It is available in a variety of materials and weaving methods, with beautiful textures and forms as a whole. Its tight weaving allows it to withstand greater pressure and tension while also being aesthetically pleasing and not easily deformed or damaged. It is widely used in architectural applications as filler panels, cages, and decorations. It is also used in acoustics, filtration, bridge guardrails, aerospace components, rodent control, and truck grilles.

Crimped Wire Mesh Benefits

1. High strength: The corrugated structure enhances the tensile strength and wear resistance of the mesh surface, and is not easily deformed by stretching or extrusion due to external forces, and it is suitable for load-bearing or protective scenarios.
2. Stable pores: The weaving process makes the mesh size precise and can maintain a stable particle separation effect during screening or filtering.
3. Durability: Made of materials such as stainless steel and galvanized iron wire, the surface is not easy to rust, and is suitable for harsh environments such as humidity, acid, and alkali. High toughness and good impact resistance, it can resist impact and wind impact.
4. Processing and adaptability: The wire diameter, mesh size, material, and surface treatment (galvanizing, painting) can be customized according to needs to adapt to different scenarios.
5. Convenient installation: Lightweight, moderate flexibility, easy to cut, weld, or splice, such as fence installation, equipment protective cover production.
6. Multi-function: Efficient screening and filtration, regular mesh and not easy to clog, suitable for ore, sand, and gravel classification or liquid/gas impurity filtration.
7. Cost-effectiveness: Compared with complex woven mesh, the process is simple and durable, cost-effective, and suitable for batch use.
8. Easy maintenance: The surface is smooth and easy to clean, highly rust-proof after anti-corrosion treatment, and not prone to dust and scaling, with low maintenance costs.

Material Characteristics Of Crimped Wire Mesh

1. Mild Steel / Low Carbon Steel Wire: This wire has a carbon content of less than 0.20%, has good formability and ductility, and can withstand moderate bending or flattening.

2. Black wire: Black steel wire, also known as high carbon steel wire with greater hardness. With added manganese, it is called high manganese crimped wire mesh with increased wearing resistance. Commonly used in the mining screen mesh. Common manganese steel used:45 # Mn, 65 # Mn.

3. Galvanized wire: Applied to crimped wire mesh with a small wire diameter, used to make wire mesh barbecue.

4. Galvanized Redrawing Wire: Compared with galvanized steel wire, the redrawing wire has one timeless annealing process as detailed below:
The average galvanized wire production process is Rod – Drawing – annealing – drawing – annealing – galvanized.
The redrawing wire production process is Rod – Drawing – Annealing – Zinc Plating – Drawing.
As a result of the processing difference, the galvanized redrawing wire has more strength compared with common galvanized wire, poorer corrosion resistance, and costs less.

5. Stainless steel wire: Commonly used 304, 316, 304L, 316L grades. The Stainless steel wire is a high-performance steel wire. Because it has different specifications and models. Therefore, it is a silk product with a round or flat cross-section. Known for its good corrosion resistance and high-cost performance.

Where Is Crimped Wire Mesh Used?

1. Industry: used in the mining and metallurgical industries to screen ores, sand and gravel, and other materials; in the chemical industry such as raw material purification, as liquid/gas filter media, equipment protective covers, and pipeline dust nets.
2. Building protection & reinforcement: used as wall plastering nets and insulation layer fixed nets to prevent cracking; used for highway guardrails, construction site safety nets, or courtyard isolation fences.
3. Agriculture and breeding scenarios: making breeding cages such as chicken cages and pig pens, or greenhouse insect nets, used as escape prevention nets or seedling screens in aquaculture.
4. Mining and tunnel engineering: screening ore in mining vibrating screen equipment, and combining with concrete to reinforce rock walls when supporting mine tunnels.
5. Garden and landscape decoration: used as garden fences, plant climbing frames, tree reinforcement nets, or garden hollow decorative nets, flower bed protection nets.
6. Household daily use: barbecue nets, kitchen range hood filters, household insect screens, etc.

How Is Crimped Wire Mesh Made?

1. Wire selection: Select stainless steel wire, galvanized iron wire, aluminum wire and galfan coated wire according to the purpose, and determine the wire diameter.
2. Pretreatment: Degrease the wire and clean the surface of the oxide layer. If galvanizing or plastic coating is required, pretreatment can be completed at this stage.
3. Pressing & bending: Apply pressure to the wire through the Crimping Machine to produce regular corrugated bends (crimped) to form a “wavy” cross-section. Adjust the roller spacing and pressure to control the height and spacing of the corrugations.
4. Weaving & forming: Cross weaving, arrange the bent wires in a vertical cross-shaped manner, and interweave them through an automatic crimping machine. Through mechanical extrusion or welding, the intersection of the warp and weft wires is fixed to form a stable mesh surface.
5. Size cutting & shaping: Cut to a specified width and length. Commonly used tools include shearing machines and laser cutting machines. A leveling machine or manual machine is used to eliminate deformation during the weaving process and ensure flatness and uniform mesh.
6. Surface treatment: optional, anti-corrosion treatment such as galvanizing, plastic spraying, chrome plating, anodizing, polishing, wire drawing, and other processes to improve the appearance. Or high temperature resistance and anti-static treatment.
7. Quality inspection & packaging: Check mesh accuracy, wire diameter error, surface defects, tensile strength, etc., to ensure compliance with standards. Roll into mesh rolls or cut into flat plates according to specifications, package with moisture-proof materials, mark the model, and put into storage
