Nickel & Nickel Alloys Wire Cloth Weaving Materials

Nickel

Nickel is noted for its corrosion resistance, good electrical conductivity and high heat-transfer properties. Wire mesh woven of nickel is used in pure food and drug processing among several other applications although nickel wire cloth is replaced frequently with stainless steel.

Hastelloy B

This alloy is recommended for corrosion resistance to hydrochloric acid although it is usually not used for high temperature applications.

 

Inconel 600

This alloy is high in nickel content (76% to 80%), combined with a chromium content of 14% to 16% is suitable high temperature applications where resistance to corrosion is required. Inconel is the preferred material for heat-treating baskets fabricated of woven wire cloth.

Monel 400

This alloy contains approximately 67% nickel, 28% copper and 5% other elements. It is essentially non-corrodible. Monel is more resistant to oxidation than copper and more resistant to reducing conditions than nickel.

 

Hastelloy C

Offering good corrosion resistance to strong oxidizing agents, this alloy performs well at elevated temperatures in the range of 1600o to 1800o Fahrenheit.

 

Incoloy 800

Similar to T-330 stainless steel, Incoloy has superior corrosion resistance and strength.
