Weaving methods and characteristics of metal mesh

There are many ways to weave metal mesh. The following are some common weaving ways and their characteristics：

1. Characteristics of plain weave: Plain weave is the most common weaving method. Its characteristic is that each warp wire crosses up and down each weft wire, and the warp and weft wires form a 90-degree angle. The warp and weft wires usually have the same diameter, and the woven mesh is relatively square and the mesh size is uniform. Application: Plain weave mesh is widely used in most commercial applications as well as in filtration areas where high flow rates are required.

2. Characteristics of twill weave: In twill weave, each warp wire crosses above and below every two weft wires, and each weft wire also crosses above and below every two warp wires. Compared with plain weave, twill weave allows the use of larger wire diameters, and the diameters of warp and weft wires may be different, and the number of mesh openings in the longitudinal and transverse directions may also be different. Application: Twill woven mesh has high mechanical elasticity and stability, and is suitable for occasions with high requirements for strength and stability.

3. Characteristics of Dutch weaving: Dutch weaving is a special weaving method in which the diameters of the warp and weft wires may be different. During the weaving process, the metal wires are pulled closer together, resulting in a denser mesh surface with a higher density. This weave creates a very smooth and strong wire mesh, but the flow rate may be limited. Application: Dutch woven mesh is often used in situations where high density and strength are required, such as filtration under high pressure.

4. Microwire mesh weaving characteristics: Microwire mesh usually adopts plain weave method, but the diameter of the weft wire may be larger than the diameter of the warp wire, resulting in different numbers of meshes in the transverse and longitudinal directions. This weave creates a very strong wire mesh that is easy to clean and allows for high flow rates. Application: Micromesh woven mesh is suitable for occasions with high requirements on cleanliness and flow rate.

5. Weaving characteristics of double-twisted twisted mesh: Double-twisted twisted mesh is a metal mesh woven through double-stranded technology. Its shape is usually hexagonal or quadrilateral. This weaving method makes the metal mesh have strong impact resistance and stability. Application: Double twisted twisted mesh is often used in engineering erosion prevention, landscape decoration and other fields, such as retaining walls, river bottom hardening or scenic area decoration, etc. 6. Characteristics of expanded metal wire mesh weaving: Expanded metal wire mesh uses an integrated manufacturing process to directly process steel plates into the form of wire mesh, without the need for additional weaving processes. This weaving method is traceless and waste-free. Application: Expanded metal wire mesh is suitable for occasions with high requirements on aesthetics and strength.

To sum up, there are various weaving methods of metal mesh, and each weaving method has its own unique characteristics and application fields. When choosing a metal mesh, you need to choose the appropriate weaving method based on specific application requirements and scenarios.
