Nichrome Mesh/screen for defense industries

Nichrome Wire Mesh/Screen is a name for a Nickel-Chromium alloy wire mesh. Nichrome wire mesh/screen is corrosion resistant and has high melting point of about 1400 °C (2552 °F). It has relatively high resistivity and very good resistance to oxidation at high temperatures. The ultimate tensile strength of this product is 105,000 PSI (Pounds per Square Inch), yield strength is around 50,000 PSI and modulus of elasticity is 31 x 106 PSI.

Nichrome Mesh Available Specifications:
Mesh: 5Mesh/Inch to 250Mesh/Inch
Thick: 0.1mm-3.0mm
Aperture rate: 10%-90%

Properties of Nichrome Wire Mesh/Screen:
1. Deformation ability
2. Thermal stability
3. Mechanical character
4. Shockproof ability
5. Anti-oxidization.
6. Good anti-corrosion
7. High resistant co-efficiency.

For heating, resistance Wire mesh must be stable in air when hot. Nichrome Wire mesh/screen forms a protective layer of chromium oxide when it is heated for the first time. Material beneath the layer will not oxidize, preventing the Wire mesh from breaking or burning out.

Nichrome Wire mesh's metallurgical structure confers them a very good plasticity when cold. There is a growth of the grain under heat during utilization of the element without inducing embrittlement of it when cold.

Low embrittlement at high temperature Good plasticity – Easier to give them a shape compared with Fe Cr Al (lower mechanical characteristics allow indeed a good control of elasticity of the product during shaping (coiling, folding, drawing). Good resistance to creeping (more important than ferritic alloys) which is important during conception of a resistance presenting big heights of waves. Recommended maximal temperature in the furnace: 1922 / 2012 °F in order to obtain a reasonable life time of the elements.

Nichrome Alloys Compares:
1. Ni80 Cr20: Good deformability and mechanical strength. Its thermal state has good merit, earthquake resistance and anti-oxidized ability. Widely used in the heat treatment also is the electron, lightly spins material of in the industry electric appliance and electronic, and the resistor part.
2. Ni30Cr20 and Ni25Cr20: Nickel-chrome-iron high electric resistance alloy: its workability is well (plasticity good), the weld ability is good, when the corrosion resistance, the thermal state has the good earthquake resistance and the anti- oxidized ability. The application temperature below 1100 oC may replace Ni80Cr20 as electric resistance.
