Brass: As the alloy of copper and zinc, brass wire mesh has excellent abrasion resistance, corrosion-resisting, lower electric conductivity as compared with copper.

Copper: Copper wire offers excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, it is non-magnetic, anti-sparking and is resistance to atmospheric corrosion, salt air and brine. Copper applications are limited due to its low tensile strength, poor resistance to abrasion and common acids.

Phosphor bronze is an alloy of Tin, phosphor and copper. It is corrosion-resisting, wear-resisting, tear-resisting, but not suitable for exposure to hydrochloric acid or strong oxidizing agents.
