Brass Wire Mesh used in EMI/RFI shielding with Resistant To
Saltwater And Oxidation
Brass Wire Mesh/ Brass Wire Cloth
Brass wire mesh is made from brass, an alloy of copper (Cu) and
zinc (Zn), typically in ratios like 70/30 or 80/20. The zinc
content enhances strength and corrosion resistance while retaining
malleability. Manufacturing involves drawing brass into wires,
followed by weaving (plain, twill, or Dutch weave) or welding.
Annealing may be used to soften the material for intricate weaves.
Brass wire mesh excels in applications requiring corrosion
resistance, aesthetics, antimicrobial properties, or non-sparking
safety. While costlier than aluminum or steel, its unique benefits
make it indispensable in marine, decorative, medical, and hazardous
environments. Proper selection of alloy, weave, and surface
treatment ensures longevity and performance.
