316L Stainless Steel Wire Mesh
Short Description:
316L Stainless Steel Wire Mesh offers good corrosion resistance and low-carbon weldability for filtration, screening and separation. SASA STEEL supplies custom mesh count, wire diameter, opening size, width and roll length for industrial applications.
316L Stainless Steel Wire Mesh Overview
316L Stainless Steel Wire Mesh is a corrosion-resistant woven mesh manufactured from low-carbon molybdenum-bearing stainless steel wire. It is widely used for filtration, screening, separation and protection in chemical, marine, food-processing and industrial environments.
Compared with 304 stainless steel mesh, 316L offers improved resistance in chloride-containing and more corrosive environments. Its low carbon content also makes it suitable where welding or fabrication is involved.
SAKY STEEL supplies 316L woven wire mesh with customized mesh count, wire diameter, opening size, weave type, roll width and roll length according to application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is 316L stainless steel wire mesh?
It is a woven wire mesh manufactured from 316L stainless steel wire and used for filtration, screening, separation and protective applications.
Why choose 316L instead of 304 wire mesh?
316L contains molybdenum and generally provides improved corrosion resistance in chloride-containing, marine and chemical environments compared with 304.
Can mesh count and wire diameter be customized?
Yes. Mesh count, wire diameter, opening size, width and roll length can be reviewed according to filtration and strength requirements.
What weave types are available?
Plain weave, twill weave, plain Dutch weave and twill Dutch weave can be supplied according to the required mesh structure and filtration performance.
Can 316L wire mesh be supplied as cut sheets or discs?
Yes. In addition to rolls, cut sheets, discs and other agreed cut sizes can be reviewed according to mesh specification and fabrication requirements.
