5 Must-Have Features in a wire mesh products wholesale

What is Welded Wire Mesh?

Welded wire mesh is a type of metal mesh made by welding the intersection points of metal wires together. It is commonly used for various purposes, including construction and fencing. Due to the strength and structural integrity of welded wire mesh, it serves as a versatile material for creating durable walls, partitions, and barriers.

Unlike woven wire mesh, where intersections are achieved through weaving, the intersections of welded wire mesh are joined through welding. This welding process provides welded wire mesh higher strength and stability.

What is Welded Wire Panel?

A welded wire panel is a metal mesh made by welding metal wires together, with a thicker diameter compared to the wires in a welded wire mesh roll. Welded wire mesh panels often have specific dimensions.

Welded wire mesh panels are widely used for fencing, safety barriers, and enclosures in residential and industrial environments. Their predetermined dimensions and pre-assembled features make them easy to install quickly in various settings.

What To Consider Before Sourcing From China?

Welded wire rolls and welded wire panels have wide applications and great market opportunity, presenting excellent opportunities for local distribution and brand establishment. However, there are details that need to be know before you proceed with actual wholesale procurement from China.

Welded Wire Mesh Applications

When wholesale welded wire products from China, the first thing to clarify is the application, distinguishing whether welded wire rolls or welded wire panels are needed.

Welded wire rolls, known for their flexibility and customization, are suitable for extensive installation, such as reinforcing concrete structures in buildings, agricultural fencing, and scenarios requiring bending and folding like animal enclosures and chicken coops.

On the other hand, welded wire panels, often used for small fixed surfaces, provide a ready-made solution for quick installations in applications such as fence construction, home decoration, and warehouse partitions.

How Is Welded Wire Mesh Specified?

After determining the usage scenarios for welded wire in your market, the next part is the specification of the welded wire mesh. Both welded wire rolls and welded wire panels come in different sizes and mesh dimensions.

For welded wire rolls, the wire diameter ranges from BWG 16 to BWG 23, with mesh hole opening sizes varying from 1/4×1/4 inches to 2×2 inches. Each roll has a length of 50 to 100 inches, and the height is customizable, with common heights being 36 to 48 inches.

Welded wire panels, which is designed for a sturdier structure, have thicker wire diameters and larger mesh hole opening sizes compared to welded wire rolls. The wire diameter ranges from 1.5 to 6mm, and mesh hole sizes vary from 25x25mm to 100x100mm. Length, width dimensions, and mesh shapes can be customized.

Welded Wire Material

Once you have identified the required welded wire and their applications and sizes in your market, selecting the most suitable metal wire material can also save costs by matching the application. The material of the welded wire is a significant aspect that should not be overlooked.

Each type of metal wire material has specific applications, and the choice depends on the unique requirements of the project. The factors we should look into include corrosion resistance, hardness, flexibility, and aesthetic preferences.

Black Wire is also known as black annealed wire, it is a soft iron wire product with enhanced oxidation resistance, uniform softness, consistent color, and greater flexibility compared to ordinary annealed wire.

Electro Galvanized Wire is coated with a thin layer of zinc through electroplating. It offers moderate corrosion resistance and is suitable for general applications requiring basic corrosion protection.

Hot-Dipped Galvanized Wire is immersed in molten zinc, forming a thicker coating with stronger corrosion resistance. Welded wire mesh roll and panels made by hot-dipped galvanized wire is ideal for outdoor use, fencing, and construction projects where extended corrosion protection is needed.

Shengsen Bright Galvanized Wire, known for increased hardness and a shiny surface, is suitable for applications where both hardness and visual appearance are essential. It is commonly used in decorative fencing that requires a bright appearance.

PVC Coated Wire is coated with PVC, providing both corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal. Available in various colors, PVC coated wire is suitable for projects requiring corrosion resistance and colored finishes, making it an ideal choice for garden fencing and similar applications.

Stainless Steel Wire is known for corrosion resistance and durability, stainless steel wire is excellent for applications demanding superior corrosion performance. It is commonly used in marine environments, food processing, and medical equipment, maintaining a long lifespan and reliability even under harsh conditions.

Welding And Galvanizing Process

When it comes to welded wire mesh, there’s one final point to emphasize: the sequence of galvanization and welding. The order of galvanizing and welding affects aspects such as corrosion resistance, welding integrity, and coating uniformity.

Galvanize Before Welding

This method involves galvanizing the metal wires before welding. Welded wire can undergo either electroplating or hot-dip galvanization before welding. This ensures a uniform and consistent layer of zinc on the welding wire, providing stable corrosion protection.

However, the welding process may affect the galvanized layer, and welded points are exposed to the air without the protection of the galvanized layer.

Welded Before Galvanizing

In this method, the welded wire is first welded, and then galvanized. This approach allows for a more precise coverage of the zinc layer, evenly covering all areas, including forming zinc layers at the welding points. However, there may be variations in coating thickness, especially at the welding joint points.

The choice between galvanizing before welding and welding before galvanizing depends on the specific requirements of your local market and application projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Welded Wire Made?

Welded wire is manufacturered by welding at the intersection of each metal wire. You can get a close look at how welded wire and mesh panels are manufactured in the video below.

What is The Difference Between Welded Wire And Woven Wire Mesh?

In the market, metal wire meshes are either welded wire or woven wire. What sets them apart?

Welded wire mesh is constructed by welding intersecting metal wires, forming a grid with welded points. In contrast, woven wire mesh involves interlacing metal wires to create patterns, such as hexagonal wire mesh, cattle fence roll and so on. Welded wire is more robust and durable, while woven wire is more flexible.

Does Welded Wire Rust?

The susceptibility to rust depends on the materials used. Many welded wires are made from corrosion-resistant materials like galvanized steel or stainless steel, or have PVC coating.

However, if the welding wire is made of plain steel without a protective layer, it may rust over time, especially in damp or corrosive environments.

Can Welded Wire Be Used With Concrete?

Yes. And as a matter of fact, welded wire mesh is commonly used as reinforcement in concrete, acting as steel reinforcement or insulation layer. Welded wire enhances the strength of concrete by preventing cracks and reinforcing structural integrity.

It is often used in various concrete applications such as concrete wall, sidewalks, driveways, and foundations to improve the overall durability and performance of concrete structures.

Common Woven Wire Cloth Materials

• Carbon Steel: Low, High, Oil Tempered
• Stainless Steel: Non-Magnetic Types 304, 304L, 309, 310, 316, 316L, 317, 321, 330, 347; Magnetic Types 410, 430
• Copper and Copper Alloys: Copper, Brass, Bronze, Phosphor Bronze
• Aluminum and Aluminum Alloys: -H19
• Nickel and Nickel Alloys: Nickel, Monel® 400, Hastelloy B, Hastelloy C, Inconel® 600, Incoloy® 800, Nichrome I, Nichrome V

Stainless steel wire mesh, specifically Type 304 stainless steel, is the most popular material for producing woven wire cloth. Also known as 18-8 because of its 18 percent chromium and eight percent nickel components, 304 is a basic stainless alloy that offers a combination of strength, corrosion resistance and affordability. Type 304 stainless steel is normally the best option when manufacturing grilles, vents or filters used for the general screening of liquids, powders, abrasives and solids.

Woven wire mesh products, also known as woven wire cloth, are woven on looms, a process that is similar to the one used to weave clothing. The mesh can consist of various crimping patterns for the interlocking segments. This interlocking method, which entails the precise arrangement of the wires over and under one another prior to crimping them into place, creates a product that’s strong and reliable. The high-precision manufacturing process makes woven wire cloth more labor-intensive to produce therefore it is typically more expensive than welded wire mesh.

Woven Wire Mesh Crimp and Weave Styles

Wire openings and sizes range broadly. Marco Specialty Steel offers many different weave patterns and pre-crimp styles. Below are examples of crimp and weave styles that are available. See our Crimp and Weave Styles page for more detailed information.

Woven Wire Cloth Crimp Styles

• Lock crimp: Lock crimp is comprised of pre-crimped wire featuring the formation of knuckles or bumps over intersecting sets of wires. This locks the mesh in place to create an extremely rigid product.
• Double crimp: Double crimp wire mesh cloth exhibits a pattern of warp wires passing over and underfill wires.
• Intercrimp: Commonly used for screens and architectural applications, intercrimp woven wire mesh provides superior strength and stability, while offering a rigid mesh solution.
• Flat top: As the name implies, the flat top crimp style features a smooth top plane that facilitates the flow of materials.

Woven Wire Weave Styles

• Plain/Double: This standard woven wire cloth weave type produces square openings where the warp wire alternately passes over and under the fill wire at right angles.
• Twill Square: Typically used for applications that require managing heavier loads and finer filtration, twill square woven wire mesh exhibits a distinctive parallel diagonal pattern.
• Twill Dutch: Twill Dutch is known for its superior strength, which is achieved by packing a high volume of wire in targeted areas of the weave. This woven wire cloth style can also filter particles as small as two microns.
• Reverse Plain Dutch: This woven wire weave style features a large warp wire and smaller shute wire count that the Plain or Twill Dutch styles.
• Plain Dutch: The Plain Dutch style features diagonally slanted openings that are difficult to see, but produces a strong, compact wire mesh that works well for filtering cloth applications.
