Types of High Temperature Resistant Wire Mesh

We often say that basically all types of stainless steel wire mesh have good high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance. So what are the specific high temperature resistant wire meshes? What temperature can it withstand? What are the most common scenarios for it to be used? This article will give you detailed answers and help you choose the most suitable high temperature resistant wire mesh

304/304L stainless steel wire mesh: 304/304L is the most common stainless steel wire mesh. It can be used continuously in an environment of -196℃~600℃, and the maximum operating temperature does not exceed 870℃. It is often used in some medium temperature environments such as food processing filtration and industrial filtration.

Inconel mesh: Inconel mesh is an alloy mesh with excellent high temperature resistance. Inconel 600 can be used continuously in an environment of -100℃ ~ 1050℃, and the maximum use temperature can reach 1150℃. The use temperature of Inconel 601 is between -100℃ ~ 1150℃, and the maximum use temperature can reach 1200℃. Due to its excellent high temperature resistance, Inconel mesh is often used as a support mesh in a high temperature furnace, a heat insulation mesh for aerospace equipment turbine engines and jet engines, a high temperature catalytic reaction bed for chemicals, a high temperature filter protection mesh for nuclear reactors, and a filter mesh for submarine facilities.

Hastelloy wire mesh: Hastelloy wire mesh can be used continuously at -50℃ ~ 1150℃, and the maximum operating temperature can reach 1175℃. It has strong resistance to oxidation and corrosion and is often used as high-temperature flue gas filters, combustion chamber fireproof nets, pharmaceutical catalyst carrier supports, etc.

Nickel-chromium alloy mesh: The temperature range that nickel-chromium alloy mesh can withstand is 200~1200℃, and the maximum operating temperature can reach 1250℃. At this temperature, nickel-chromium alloy mesh can be used for a long time in the air. Therefore, nickel-chromium alloy wire is a special material for electric heating wire. Nickel-chromium alloy mesh is also often used as resistance heating wire mesh due to its excellent high temperature resistance, high temperature support mesh for heat treatment process, high temperature insulation mesh for aerospace industry, high temperature glass liquid filtration support mesh, high temperature reactor filter mesh under oxidizing atmosphere, etc.

In addition , there are some special stainless steel meshes like molybdenum wire mesh, tungsten wire mesh, and tantalum wire mesh, which have super high temperature resistance (molybdenum wire mesh 600~1700℃, tungsten wire mesh: 800~2600℃, tantalum wire mesh: 600~1500℃), but they are unstable in the air and need to be used in a vacuum or inert gas environment. They are suitable for high temperature heating in a vacuum furnace environment.
