Copper and Bronze:
The most common non-ferrous metals used for making wire mesh are copper and bronze. These alloys have a wide variety of properties, including ductility, malleability, strength, and corrosion resistance.
Stainless Steel:
Stainless steel is a common metal for mesh products due to its resistance to corrosion and rust. It can be welded or woven, depending on the application. The most popular type of welded wire mesh is made from 304 and 316 stainless steel. It is also available in a variety of alloys, including 410, 430, and 420.
