Haotong explained [low carbon steel wire mesh]

Due to its tensile strength and high impact resistance, low carbon steel wire mesh is the most commonly used common steel alloy in the manufacture of industrial wire mesh screens. Low iron is mainly composed of iron. The most commonly used low carbon steel grades are 1005, 1006 and 1008, and contain a small amount of carbon (0.0-0.1%), manganese (0.0-0.5%-will increase strength), phosphorus (0.0- 0.04%) and sulfur (0.0-0.05%). Low wear resistance and low corrosion resistance may limit its use in certain applications, but various special protective coatings can be used to improve resistance. Galvanizing (before or after) is the most economical way to prevent corrosion. Alternatively, a protective tin coating is usually used on a slurry screen (tin mill). In addition, steel wire cloth can be protected with epoxy paint, PVC/vinyl paint and powder paint for electrostatic application. Some characteristics of low carbon steel wire cloth determine its wide range of applications:

    Low carbon steel alloy.
    Relatively low-cost and high-strength materials.
    It is magnetic under all conditions.
    Not resistant to corrosion; it will rust in most atmospheric environments.
    A protective coating can be applied to improve electrical resistance.
    It can be cut, formed and welded.
