Technical Superiority That Beats Competitors
Why does 316 stainless steel wire cloth dominate marine environments? Its 2-3% molybdenum content creates a self-healing oxide layer. Compare that to standard 304-grade screens failing within 18 months in coastal zones. Our expanded metal sheets boast:
- ✔️ 0.5mm-12mm thickness range
- ✔️ 1600°F continuous service temperature
- ✔️ 85,000 PSI tensile strength
- ✔️ 10-year anti-corrosion warranty

FAQS on 316 stainless steel expanded metal
Q: What are the key advantages of 316 stainless steel expanded metal?
A: 316 stainless steel expanded metal offers exceptional corrosion resistance, high durability, and versatility. It is ideal for harsh environments, such as marine or chemical industries, due to its molybdenum content. Its open mesh design also allows for airflow and light penetration.
Q: How does 316 stainless steel wire cloth differ from expanded metal?
A: 316 stainless steel wire cloth features uniformly woven wires, creating precise apertures for filtration or sieving. Expanded metal, however, is formed by cutting and stretching metal sheets, producing a diamond-shaped pattern. Both provide corrosion resistance but serve distinct functional purposes.
Q: Are 316 stainless steel security screens rust-resistant?
A: Yes, 316 stainless steel security screens resist rust and oxidation even in humid or coastal areas. Their superior alloy composition ensures long-term structural integrity. They also provide robust protection against forced entry while maintaining visibility.
Q: Can 316 stainless steel expanded metal be used for architectural applications?
A: Absolutely. Its aesthetic appeal, strength, and weather resistance make it perfect for façades, sunshades, and decorative screens. The material is also lightweight and easy to install, reducing construction costs.
Q: What maintenance is required for 316 stainless steel wire cloth?
A: Minimal maintenance is needed due to its corrosion-resistant properties. Periodic cleaning with mild soap and water removes debris. Avoid abrasive tools to preserve the surface finish and longevity.
