Aluminum Woven Wire Mesh
Aluminum is also a common material in daily life, appearing everywhere like stainless steel. Aluminum alloy is also commonly used in the production of metal wire mesh. Aluminum wire cloth can perform perfectly in many applications due to its lightweight and flexible characteristics.
Aluminum wire mesh is very lightweight. Have you ever had Coca-Cola? It’s as light as an aluminum can and weighs only about 30% of the weight of stainless steel mesh. It is also very soft, like a Coca-Cola can that you can easily step on and flatten. Similarly, aluminum wire mesh is also very easy to fold, like origami.
As a professional manufacturer of woven wire mesh, we can meet your various customization needs. This includes wire diameter, mesh size, weaving method, filtration level, mesh count and width, etc., and we can provide them in the form of rolls or sliced into any shape and size.
Aluminum Alloy Analysis
We mainly provide 6061 aluminum alloy wire mesh, which is composed of aluminum, magnesium and silicon as the main alloying elements. It has excellent mechanical properties, good formability and high corrosion resistance. It is used in the production of different types of metal mesh for various applications.
Alloys from the 5000 series are also available, such as 5056 and 5052, which have slightly different physical and mechanical properties, but both have high corrosion resistance.

Aluminum Mesh Applications
Aluminum is a readily available material, so its cost is lower than some other metals. This, combined with its many advantages, electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, lightweight, ease of processing (softness), etc., makes aluminum woven wire mesh a popular choice for industrial, marine, aerospace, transportation, and many other industries.
