Description
Copper Wire MeshCopper wire mesh is also called red copper mesh. The purity of copper is 99.99%. The aperture of copper wire mesh can range from 2 meshes to 300 meshes, which can suit for different requirements. Except for pure copper woven wire mesh, there are copper alloy wire mesh, such as brass wire mesh and phosphor bronze wire mesh.
Copper woven wire mesh is non-magnetic, so it is also called shielding screen mesh in the circuits, laboratories and computer rooms, it also has outstanding wear resistance and sound insulation performance.
Due to the excellent conductive property of copper, Radio Frequency Interference Shielding, Grounding Grids and Lighting Arrestor Elements commonly incorporate copper wire cloth. Copper wire mesh applications may be limited due to its low tensile strength, poor resistance to abrasion and common acids.
The chemical composition of copper wire mesh is 99.9% copper, it is a soft and malleable material. Copper wire mesh is available in various mesh counts to produce specific opening sizes to meet our industrial users' requirements.

Application Of Copper Wire Mesh
Copper wire mesh is ductile, malleable and has high thermal and electrical conductivity. Because of these unique characteristics, it is often used as RFI shielding, in Faraday Cages, in roofing and HVAC and in countless electrical-based applications. Without a doubt, copper wire mesh is critical to industry, and as such, it is used in general industrial applications. Not surprisingly, copper mesh is often at the center of technological advancements in a broad range of fields. Copper wire mesh's unique color makes it a very popular option for many different types of users, including designers, artists, architects and home owners. Home owners and designers opt for copper woven wire mesh for residential projects including gutter guards, soffit screens, insect screen, and fireplace screen. Sculptors, wood workers, metal artisans and architects also find copper mesh to be an excellent option because of its remarkable dark amber-red color and its broad appeal to a wide audience.

Part specs of brass wire mesh
Yellow brass is the most popular brass alloy for wire cloth screens. Brass(typically 80% copper, 20% zinc) has much better abrasion resistance, better corrosion resistance and lower electrical conductivity when compared to copper. The tensile property of brass wire mesh is higher than those of copper with some sacrifice in formability. Brass will usually maintain its bright finish over time, will not darken with age as does copper.Popular Industries and Applications Of Brass Wire MeshEnergy storageElectric heatersPest control fumigationTactical shelters & modular containersRobotics & power automationGamma irradiatorsHealth, body and mind enrichment

Bronze Wire MeshPhosphor Bronze Cu 94 %, Sn 4.75%, P .25%
Phosphorus bronze wire mesh is formed of Copper, Tin and Phosphorous (Cu: 94%, Sn: 4.75%, and P: .25%). Phosphor bronze wire mesh, as it is commonly called, exhibits physical and anti-corrosive properties slightly superior to those of copper and zinc alloys. Phosphorus bronze wire mesh is typically found in the finer meshes (100 x 100 Mesh and finer). This material has great strength, durability and ductility. It is also resistant to common corrosive agents.Part specs of bronze wire mesh Mesh/In | Wire Dia.(In) | Opening(In) | Open Area(%) | Weave Type | Width |
