Pure Copper Mesh Red Copper Brass Phosphor Bronze Tinned Woven Mesh
Bronze is an alloy mainly composed of copper. Therefore, bronze
wire mesh and copper wire mesh have many of the same
characteristics, like malleability, durability, and ductility. The
chemical composition of commonly used commercial bronze wire mesh
is 90% Copper and 10% Zinc.
Bronze woven wire mesh has stronger corrosion resistance and
durability than brass wire mesh. And it has a unique antique
brownish-red color, which is an important reason for the use of
bronze wire mesh from various marine and military applications to a
commercial and residential insect screen. Bronze wire mesh is not
as flexible and ductile as copper woven wire mesh for industrial
needs, so it is often used in filtration and separation
applications.
Brass is another copper alloy made of copper and zinc. And like
copper wire mesh, brass wire mesh is soft and malleable. But its
corrosion resistance is not as good as bronze.
As a wire mesh, the most commonly available brass woven wire mesh
is referred to as “270 yellow brass” and has a chemical composition
of approximately 65% copper, 35% zinc. “260 high brass”, which
consists of 70% copper and 30% zinc is also popular in the mesh
industry, particularly on custom manufactured items.
Zinc plays an important role in brass wire mesh, it increases the
wear resistance and higher tensile strength of brass wire mesh. It
also hardens the mesh, compared to its softer copper woven wire
mesh counterpart. For these reasons, brass wire mesh is commonly
used in filtration and separation applications. In most cases,
industrial-grade brass woven wire mesh has a golden yellow color to
it, and this unique color makes it appealing for use in
architectural, decorative and even artistic applications. Like
virtually all wire mesh and wire cloth, brass wire mesh is used in
architectural, decorative and industrial applications.
