Carbon Steel Welded Wire Mesh,Reinforcing Concrete Rebar Mesh

Metech Welded Mesh Inc. supplies full range high-quality carbon steel welded wire mesh, meeting diverse industry needs. Carbon steel welded mesh provides remarkable strength and durability, can be used as cost-effective mesh material with proper treatment. Black steel welded mesh ungalvanized is popularly used as concrete reinforcing mesh in construction, or industrial shelving. Carbon steel weld mesh can be oil painted or galvanized.

Material

Carbon steel, primarily composed of carbon and iron with trace elements like manganese, silicon, and sulfur, offers remarkable strength and durability.

Types of carbon steel wire materials

• Carbon Steel Wire: Used in various wire mesh manufacturing, including welded wire mesh. Available in various grades and gauges.
• Low Carbon Steel (Mild Steel): Contains up to 0.3% carbon, known for ductility, machinability, and weldability, commonly used in construction, automotive, and general engineering.
• Medium Carbon Steel: Contains 0.3% to 0.6% carbon, providing increased strength and hardness, commonly used in forging, structural components, and machinery parts.
• High Carbon Steel: With a carbon content ranging from 0.6% to 1.5%, known for excellent hardness and wear resistance.
• Carbon Steel Alloys: Alloyed with elements to enhance specific properties.
• Structural Carbon Steel: For structural applications in buildings, bridges, and infrastructure, conforming to ASTM standards.

Wire Diameter

Carbon steel welded wire mesh is available in wire diameter from 0.8mm to 6mm.

• For light-duty applications, such as residential fencing, cost effective thin wires at diameter from 0.8mm to 2mm are used.
• For medium-duty applications, such as industrial shelving, partitioning, or animal cages, medium-sized steel wires at diameters from 2mm to 4mm are often used.
• For heavy-duty applications, such as concrete reinforcement, security fencing, machinery guards, thick wires at diameters from 4mm to 6mm are often used.

Mesh Size

The mesh size of carbon steel welded wire mesh varies for specific applications and requirements. Selection of mesh size depends on uses.

• Finer mesh, for example 1/4 inch, is suitable for hardware cloth, industrial screen, plastering.
• Medium-sized mesh, from 1/2 inch (12.7mm) to 2 inches (50.8mm), is commonly used in fencing, animal enclosures, and construction reinforcement.
• Large mesh, for example 3 inches (76.2mm) or more, is commonly used in agricultural applications, including livestock fencing and crop protection.

Dimensions

Carbon steel welded wire mesh is available in rolls or panels, with a range of options to meet various requirements.

• Welded carbon steel wire mesh rolls are supplied in widths 3 feet to 6 feet and lengths 50 feet to 100 feet. Panel sizes include 4 feet by 8 feet or 5 feet by 10 feet.

Finish

The finish of carbon steel welded wire mesh refers to the surface treatment applied post-manufacturing to enhance durability, corrosion resistance, and appearance, meeting specific application needs.

Common finishes include:

• Oiled Finish Plain Black Steel;
• Galvanized Finish- Cold Galvanized, Thermal Galvanized;
• PVC Coating;
• Powder Coating.
