Monel Woven Wire Mesh Screen
Monel wire mesh is a nickel-copper alloy wire with wide application and excellent comprehensive performance. It contains a minimum of 63% nickel, 28% copper and some other metal elements.
It is usually divided into several grades according to its metal element content, Monel400, Monel401, Monel404, MonelR405, and Monel K-500. Among the most commonly used as woven wire mesh are Monel 400 and Monel K-500.
As a professional manufacturer of Monel 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.
Monel Analysis
Monel 400
The most commonly used monel wire mesh. It has high strength and excellent corrosion resistance in various acid and alkali environments. Shows strong mechanical properties and firmness and toughness from low to high-temperature conditions.

Characteristics
Excellent strength and durability make Monel Wire Mesh stand out from other wire mesh filter materials. And it is suitable for a variety of temperatures and conditions, has excellent corrosion resistance in various media such as seawater, brine and steam, and acid and alkali environments, and can maintain stable strength from low to high temperatures. It is a strong and durable material for wire mesh. In addition, Monel wire mesh is very easy to weld, which increases its versatility and is suitable for a wide range of applications.
Due to these characteristics, monel woven wire mesh is usually used in industrial demanding high-performance applications, such as marine, chemical, electrical and electronic components, aerospace environment, etc. It is the first choice for industrial applications that require excellent performance in highly corrosive environments.
- 63%Nickel + 28%Copper.
- Excellent corrosion resistance in various acid and alkali environments.
- Higher heat resistance is suitable for high-temperature working conditions.
- Good ductility and better heating property.
- High tensile and yield strength.
- Good weldability.
- Good abrasion resistance, cleanability, and reusability.
- Excellent for use against chloride stress corrosion cracking.
- Not to be used in phosphoric or nitric acid.
But as a relatively expensive material, for those non-industrial applications that do not require such high performance, Monel wire mesh is rarely selected, and other similar appearance stainless steel wire meshes are sufficient.
