Aluminium Wire Mesh

Características clave & Beneficios

Característica	Description
Lightweight	Approximately 1/3 the weight of stainless steel mesh, making it easy to handle, transport, and install.
Corrosion Resistant	Performs well in most normal environments and is suitable for humid or coastal conditions. However, it should be noted that aluminium mesh corrodes quickly in the presence of alkaline solutions, hydrochloric acid, and hydrofluoric acid.
Good Ventilation	The open mesh structure allows up to 85% air permeability, making it ideal for screening and filtration applications.
Aesthetic Appeal	Available in a variety of finishes and colors (p.ex., prata, negro, bronze, verde, blue) through epoxy or PVC coating, enhancing its use in architectural and decorative projects.
Durable & Flexible	Offers good toughness and flexibility while maintaining structural integrity across various weaves and mesh counts.
Rentable	Generally lower in cost compared to other metal wire meshes like stainless steel.

🧵 Available Alloys & Especificacións

Aluminium wire mesh is manufactured using different alloys depending on the required strength, resistencia á corrosión, and formability. Common alloys include:

Alloy	Key Characteristics
1350	Commercially pure aluminium (99.5% Al); offers excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance.
5052	Contains 2.2–2.8% magnesium; offers good corrosion resistance, especially in marine environments, and higher strength.
5056	Higher magnesium content (4.5–5.6%); provides superior strength and corrosion resistance.
6061	Heat-treatable alloy with good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance; commonly used in structural applications.

Typical specifications include:

Parameter	Common Range
Mesh Count	2×2 to 325×325 meshes per inch
Diámetro do fío	0.14 mm to 2.68 mm (approximately BWG31 to 12 calibre)
Weave Type	Plain weave, twill weave, or lock-crimp weave
Roll Width	0.5 m to 1.52 m (custom widths available)
Embalaxe	In rolls, usually wrapped in moisture-proof material and packaged in cartons or wooden crates for export

🏭 Applications

Thanks to its unique combination of properties, aluminium wire mesh finds use in a wide range of industries:

Building & Construción: Window screens, insect screening, ventilation grilles, balcony enclosures, and facade cladding
Architectural & Interior Design: Decorative curtains, room dividers, ceiling panels, and stair railings for hotels, showrooms, and offices
Industrial Filtration & Separation: Used as filter media, support screens, and sifting cloths in chemical, pharmaceutical, procesamento de alimentos, and environmental protection sectors
Aerospace & Automotive: Lightweight structural parts and components requiring corrosion resistance
Agricultura & Marine: Animal fencing, crop protection, and marine enclosures due to its rust resistance

⚠️ Important Considerations

While aluminium wire mesh offers many advantages, it is important to note that it is not suitable for use in environments with strong alkaline solutions or hydrochloric/hydrofluoric acids, as these can cause rapid corrosion. For such conditions, stainless steel or other specialized alloys are recommended.
