FAQs About Aluminum Wire Mesh

What is aluminum wire mesh?

Aluminum wire mesh is a lightweight, corrosion-resistant mesh material manufactured from aluminum wire through weaving, welding, or expanding processes.

What is the difference between woven and welded aluminum wire mesh?

Woven aluminum wire mesh is produced by interlacing wires over and under each other, suitable for fine mesh and filtration. Welded aluminum wire mesh uses welding at the cross points, ideal for structural protection, fencing, and flooring applications.

Is aluminum wire mesh rust-proof?

Yes. Unlike steel mesh, aluminum wire mesh naturally resists oxidation and corrosion, making it suitable for outdoor, marine, and humid environments.

What are common aluminum wire mesh sizes?

Mesh counts range from 2 to 200, wire diameter from 0.08 mm to 3.0 mm, and opening size from 0.07 mm to 11 mm. Supply forms include aluminum wire mesh roll, panels, sheets, and custom shapes.

Aluminum vs stainless steel wire mesh – which to choose?

Aluminum wire mesh is lighter, easier to cut and form, and usually more economical. Stainless steel mesh offers higher strength and temperature resistance, but is heavier and more costly. For lightweight construction, insect screens, or EMI shielding, aluminum mesh is often preferred.

Can Chalco provide both raw wire and finished mesh?

Yes. Chalco supplies aluminum wire in multiple alloys (1100, 1350, 5052, 5154, 6061, 3003) and delivers finished aluminum woven mesh, welded mesh, expanded mesh, and decorative mesh in rolls or panels.

What is "Mesh"? How to understand the mesh number?

Mesh refers to the number of openings per inch (25.4 mm). For example, 10 mesh means 10 openings per inch. The larger the mesh number, the denser the openings and the smaller the aperture size.

How is the opening size calculated?

The formula is: Opening size = (25.4 ÷ mesh count) – wire diameter. For example, a 10 mesh aluminum wire mesh with 0.6 mm wire results in an opening of approximately 2.94 mm.

Do you support custom aluminum wire mesh sizes?

Yes. Chalco can customize mesh count, wire diameter, roll width, sheet size, and surface treatment to meet specific project requirements.

How is aluminum wire mesh packaged for export?

• Aluminum wire: coil winding + anti-rust film + label + wrapping film
• Aluminum wire mesh roll: Kraft paper + wrapping film + plastic shaft core
• Aluminum wire mesh panels: corner reinforcement + cushioning + pallet or plywood box

Can I buy both aluminum wire raw materials and mesh products together?

Yes. Chalco provides one-stop supply of aluminum wire and aluminum wire mesh, ensuring stable quality, fast delivery, and convenient procurement.

What are typical aluminum wire mesh products and application forms?

Yes. In addition to common uses, Chalco also provides specialized aluminum wire mesh products for construction, decoration, and industrial projects. Some examples include:
