Material: Brass wire,
copper wire and phosphor bronze wire.
Copper Wire:Copper wire offers excellent electrical
and thermal conductivity. It is non-magnetic, anti-sparking and is
resistant to atmospheric corrosion, salt air and brine.Copper applications
are limited due to its low tensile strength, poor resistance to abrasion
and common acids.
Brass Wire: High brass (70% copper, 30% zinc) wire
and low brass (80% copper, 20% zinc) wire have much better abrasion
resistance, better corrosion resistance and lower electrical conductivity
when compared to copper wire.
Phosphor Bronze Wire: This copper-tin (4% to 9% tin,
approximately 0.25% phosphorous with the balance copper) alloy wire
is corrosion, wear and tear resistant was frequently used in the past
for fine mesh cloth. Brass wire
cloth is excellent for marine and out of door applications because
of its immunity to rust and salt solutions. Brass wire mesh and
cloth is an ideal mesh for fabricating gasoline filters and baskets
fro electropolishing. It possesses greater strength than copper
or bronze.
Copper wire cloth: The primary usages of
copper in wire cloth are in these applications requiring corrosion
resistance, electrial and thermal conductivity, spark resistance
and non-magnetic properties. Copper wire cloth finds wide usage
in traveling water screens, radio frequency interference shielding,
sugar and marine applications. |
