Brass Wire Mesh
Materials: brass wire copper wire and phosphor bronze wire
Copper Wire: Copper wire offers excellent electrical and thermal conductivity. It is non-magnetic, anti-sparking and is resistant to atmospheric corrosion, salt air and brine.Copper applications are limited due to its low tensile strength, poor resistance to abrasion and common acids.
Brass Wire: High brass (70% copper, 30% zinc) wire and low brass (80% copper, 20% zinc) wire have much better abrasion resistance, better corrosion resistance and lower electrical conductivity when compared to copper wire.
Phosphor Bronze Wire: This copper-tin (4% to 9% tin, approximately 0.25% phosphorous with the balance copper) alloy wire is corrosion, wear and tear resistant was frequently used in the past for fine mesh cloth.
