Everything you need to know about brass wire mesh

Brass wire mesh has good corrosion and wear resistance. Brass is a copper alloy mainly composed of copper and zinc. When stainless steel material is not available, brass mesh can be used instead because it has excellent resistance to abrasion and corrosion. 

 

Characteristics of brass wire mesh

· 60-80% Copper + 15-40% Zinc.

· Flexibility, better ductility, easy to bend and easy to form.

· Excellent abrasion resistance and tensile strength.

· Brass wire mesh is a quite hard material, very suitable for architectural applications.

· The natural golden yellow metallic color is very suitable as decorative application.

· Good thermal and electrical conductivity.

· Corrodes when exposed to ammonia and other salts, but not easy to rust in most cases.

· The cost of brass mesh is the lowest among all copper mesh products. When conductivity is not very important, the brass mesh is a good choice.

Applications of brass wire mesh

Industrial uses

Brass wires are made from alloys. The properties of zinc and copper make them nonreactive, strong, durable, and very useful for industrial purposes. These wire meshes are commonly used in industries for different types of filtration processes. It is also used for separation purposes as well. Apart from that, you can find brass meshes being used in the mining industry too. Brass meshes also aid in chemical processing and diffusion. They are used in the marine industry and aerospace industry as well.

 

Aesthetic Applications

Brass wire meshes are used for aesthetics in modern homes. Different shapes and sizes of the brass wire meshes are used for decoration purposes. Brass wire meshes are often used for architectural designs because of their yellow and golden appearance. You can often find them being used in cabinets while building facades and much more. They are also used to form decorative lampshades and signage as well. With these brass meshes, you can also metal artisans and showpieces with unique designs.
