Abstract
310S stainless steel wire mesh is a high-performance austenitic heat-resistant stainless steel product, widely used in high-temperature, corrosive and harsh industrial environments. This article systematically introduces the material composition, core product characteristics and main application fields of 310S stainless steel wire mesh, to provide reference for global customers in material selection and engineering application.
1. Product Overview
310S stainless steel (UNS S31008, equivalent to 06Cr25Ni20) is a low-carbon, high-chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steel. 310S wire mesh is manufactured with premium 310S stainless steel wire through precision weaving or welding process, featuring outstanding heat resistance, oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance. It is the preferred metal mesh for long-term service under extreme conditions.
2. Key Product Characteristics
2.1 Excellent High-Temperature Resistance
With high chromium (24.0–26.0%) and nickel (19.0–22.0%) content, 310S wire mesh forms a dense and stable chromium oxide protective film at high temperatures, effectively inhibiting oxidation and scaling. It can continuously work at 1150°C and withstand short-term temperature up to 1200°C, with stable structure and no obvious strength loss.
2.2 Outstanding Corrosion Resistance
Superior to general stainless steel such as 304 and 316L, 310S wire mesh has strong resistance to oxidizing acids, organic acids, high-temperature flue gas and various chemical media. It performs well in sulfidation, oxidation and mild chloride environments, greatly extending service life in harsh working conditions.
2.3 Low Carbon & Good Weldability
Carbon content ≤0.08% effectively reduces sensitization and intergranular corrosion risk during welding or high-temperature service. It has good welding performance and processing performance, suitable for customized cutting, bending and assembly.
2.4 High Mechanical Strength & Creep Resistance
It has high tensile strength, creep strength and structural stability, maintaining shape and filtering accuracy under high temperature and pressure. It is not easy to deform or break, ensuring long-term reliable operation.
2.5 Stable Structure & Non‑magnetic
310S is a stable austenitic stainless steel, non-magnetic after solution treatment. It has good toughness and ductility, suitable for precision screening, filtration and separation in various industries.
2.6 Wide Specification Adaptability
Available in woven mesh (plain weave, twill weave, dutch weave) and welded mesh, with customizable mesh count, wire diameter, length and width to meet different industrial working conditions and equipment requirements.
