The reason why stainless steel mesh is called "stainless steel" is because the wire used to weave it is stainless steel wire. There are many kinds of stainless steel wire, and each kind of woven stainless steel mesh is different.
Stainless steel wire is divided into 201, 302, 304, 316, etc. in terms of material. They are all stainless steel wires. Due to some differences in the content of ingredients, their corrosion resistance, heat resistance and stress resistance are also different.
Stainless steel wire is divided into "hydrogen-retracted wire" and "hard bright wire" in terms of hardness. They just have some different procedures in the process of drawing the wire rod, which makes their hardness and softness different. Hydrogen-retracted wire is generally used for stainless steel woven mesh, while hard bright wire is more used for stainless steel crimped mesh. The two kinds of wire are different and have their own advantages.
Stainless steel mesh is woven from stainless steel wire, and each kind of stainless steel wire determines the characteristics of the stainless steel mesh it weaves.
