Copper woven wire cloth can be dived into three types according to the component of the copper. They are red copper woven wire cloth, phosphor bronze woven wire cloth and brass woven wire cloth. Each type has their characteristics and application.
Red copper woven wire cloth
Red copper woven wire cloth is also called shielding net. The chemical component is 99.8% copper.
The feature of the red copper is non-magnetic. So it can be used as the shielding net. The aperture size of the red copper woven wire cloth is 5 mesh to 280 mesh.
Specification
Features
Non- magnetic, wear resistance and good sound insulation.
Application
The chemical component of the phosphor bronze woven wire cloth is 85 - 90% copper and 10 - 15% tin.
Phosphor bronze has good ductility, wear resistance and acid and alkali resistance. The aperture size of the phosphor bronze woven wire cloth is commonly 8 mesh to 400 mesh.
Brass woven wire cloth is also called papermaking cloth. It is made of 65% copper and 35% zinc.
Papermaking cloth is made of phosphor bronze wire in the wrap, which has outstanding tension stress, bending force, wear resistance and expansion force and brass wire in the weft, which has proper tension stress and extensibility.
Mesh refers to the wire quantity per inch. The fewer mesh, the bigger aperture size and better water permeability.
