Brass Wire Mesh
Brass is just one of the many unique alloys that can be used for wire mesh.
Brass is not a pure metal, like copper, aluminum, iron, or gold. It is an alloy, a mixture of metals. Brass is made of copper and zinc. There are lots of different types of brass, and its characteristics depend on the ratio of copper to zinc.
Generally, brass is prized for its malleability, which makes it easy to machine. It also retains a high level of strength and hardness. It resists corrosion well and is known to be good at conducting both heat and electricity. Many designers and artists also appreciate the pleasing golden color of brass.
Why Use Brass as a Metal Mesh
There are many reasons to consider using brass mesh. Its high malleability makes it ideal if you want to form it into distinct shapes. Its strength and anti-corrosive properties also mean that brass mesh can hold up against a variety of challenges.
Here at Lawrence Sintered Metals, our customers primarily use 270 yellow brass and 260 high brass. Yellow brass includes 65% copper to 35% zinc, while high brass is made of 70% copper and 30% zinc.
