Stainless steel mesh has a wide range of applications in the industrial field, including the following aspects:
- Filtration and separation:
- Liquid filtration: It is commonly used to make various types of liquid filters, such as filter cartridges and strainers, for filtering and separating liquids. The corrosion-resistant and high-temperature-resistant properties of stainless steel make it suitable for filtering corrosive liquids. For example, in the chemical industry, it is used to filter chemical solutions; in the food industry, it is used to filter beverages and oils.
- Gas filtration: In industrial production, stainless steel mesh is used to make air filters, dust collectors and other equipment for gas filtration and purification. It is suitable for filtering corrosive gases and is often used in environments such as chemical plants and power plants to ensure the cleanliness of the gas.
- Solid-liquid separation: It is often used to make the filter screens of separation equipment, such as centrifuge screens and filter press screens, for processes such as solid-liquid separation and slurry filtration. In industries like mining and wastewater treatment, it helps to separate solid particles from liquids.
- Screening and grading: Stainless steel mesh is used to make various screens, such as vibrating screens and solid-liquid separation screens, for screening and grading particulate materials. In the mining industry, it is used to screen ores; in the metallurgical industry, it is used for grading metal powders; in the chemical industry, it is used to screen chemical raw materials, ensuring that the particles meet the required size standards.
- Protection and safety:
- Isolation net: In industrial production, it is often used to make isolation nets to separate different areas or protect equipment and ensure production safety. For example, it can be used to isolate high-risk operation areas or separate different production processes.
- Protective net: It is also commonly used as a protective net in mechanical equipment and facilities to protect equipment and personnel from accidental injuries. It can prevent people from contacting moving parts or dangerous areas and protect against falling objects.
- Printing and coating: In the screen printing process, stainless steel mesh with uniform pore size is stretched across the frame, and the ink passes through the mesh to form an image on the substrate, which is widely used in the electronics industry for printing circuit boards and in other industries for printing patterns and text on various materials.
- Other applications:
- Heat treatment mesh basket: It can be used to make heat treatment mesh baskets for carrying and fixing heat treatment workpieces. Due to its high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, it can withstand the harsh environment of heat treatment and ensure the normal progress of the heat treatment process.
- Catalyst carrier: In the chemical catalytic reaction, the stainless steel mesh can be used as a carrier of the catalyst, providing a large specific surface area to increase the contact area between the catalyst and the reactants and improve the efficiency of the catalytic reaction.
- Electromagnetic shielding: In the electronics and communication fields, stainless steel mesh with special properties can be made into electromagnetic shielding enclosures or screens to prevent electromagnetic interference and signal leakage, ensuring the normal operation of electronic equipment and the stability of signal transmission.
