Galvanized mesh is made by dipping steel mesh into molten zinc. The process forms a zinc-steel alloy coating, which gives the material exceptional strength and weather resistance. As such, it’s a go-to for various outdoor projects. In this article, lets us get to know a few outdoor uses of Galvanized Mesh. What Is Galvanized Wire …
Moisture can wreak havoc on many steel products. Products made of carbon steel, for instance, are susceptible to oxidation when exposed to moisture. As moisture settles on the surface of a carbon steel product, it can trigger a chemical reaction known as oxidation that eats through the material from which it’s made. To protect against …
SS 304 stainless steel is the most common stainless steel. The steel contains both chromium (between 18% and 20%) and nickel (between 8% and 10.5%) metals as the main non-iron constituents. It is an austenitic stainless steel. It is less electrically and thermally conductive than carbon steel. It is magnetic, but less magnetic than steel. …
Stainless steel has been in use for more than one hundred years. It comprises a wide range of iron-based alloys, but unlike conventional steel they are resistant to corrosion and do not rust when exposed to water alone. The alloying element that makes steel ‘stainless’ is chromium; however it is the addition of nickel that …
Steel is well-known for its incredible durability against various stress factors. The impact tolerance, tensile strength, and heat resistance of steel far outclasses that of plastic polymers. Stainless steel alloys represent a further improvement that grants enhanced resistance to various caustic and corrosive chemicals. Many companies with heat treatment, annealing, or sterilization processes wonder “what …
Mesh Count The terms, “mesh” and “mesh count”, are often used interchangeably and represent one of the most important concepts in the industry. Both “mesh” and “mesh count” refer to the number of openings per linear inch – a critical component when specifying wire mesh. To determine mesh or mesh count, start from the center …
There are a variety of uses for wire mesh in your manufacturing. Consider installing wire mesh fencing around sensitive equipment or as a perimeter barrier around your facility if you don’t want simply anybody coming too near. Wire mesh may be used for a variety of purposes on your production floor, including sifting. It doesn’t …
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is one of the most commonly used thermoplastic polymers worldwide. It is naturally white and very brittle plastic. PVC has been around longer than most plastics. It is used most commonly in the construction industry and is also used for signs, healthcare applications, and fiber for clothing. The Base Forms and Functions …
Perforated metal sheets offer a valuable combination of aesthetics and practicality. These architectural elements can be extensively customized, with a wide variety of patterns available. Perforated metal can help a structure stand out with a memorable appearance and address a number of issues common to midsize and large buildings. Let’s look at some of the …
Wire netting with hexagonal opening offers good ventilation and fencing uses. Hexagonal wire netting is made of twisting carbon steel wire, electro or hot dipped galvanized, then plastic coated, or plain. It can be fabricated into gabions boxes – one of the most popular wire products for flood control. Then stones are put into it. …
