304 & 316 Stainless Steel Welded Mesh – Industrial, Construction & Filtration
304 & 316 Stainless Steel Welded Mesh | Anping Hand in Hand Wire Mesh
Stainless steel welded mesh is used for construction reinforcement, industrial protection, filtration and corrosion-resistant fencing. Anping Hand in Hand Wire Mesh supplies 304 and 316 stainless steel welded mesh with custom wire diameter, mesh opening, roll size and panel size for project buyers.
Product Overview
304 and 316 stainless steel welded mesh consists of longitudinal and transverse wires resistance-welded at every intersection, forming a rigid square or rectangular grid. Unlike woven wire cloth, welded mesh keeps its opening shape under load, making it the preferred choice for structural reinforcement and heavy-duty screening.
Anping Hand in Hand Wire Mesh Products Co., Ltd (USCC: 91131125MA7FT3EA0D) manufactures welded mesh on automated production lines in Anping County, China — the historic wire mesh hub with over 600 years of industry heritage. Our factory covers 3,000㎡ with a monthly capacity of 50,000㎡ for welded mesh products.

Applications
1. Concrete Reinforcement & Construction
[IMG: construction-site-welded-mesh-concrete]
Stainless steel welded mesh sheets are embedded in concrete slabs, walls, and foundations to control thermal cracking and improve structural integrity. Unlike galvanized mesh, 304 stainless welded mesh will not rust inside the concrete, making it ideal for:
- Commercial building foundations
- Bridge deck reinforcement
- Tunnel lining and shotcrete support
- Precast concrete products
Common spec: 304, 4.0mm wire, 75×75mm opening, 2.0×3.0m panels.
2. Industrial Filtration & Chemical Processing
[IMG: industrial-filtration-welded-mesh]
316 and 316L welded mesh is widely used as support screens, filter discs, and retention grids in:
- Petrochemical filter housings
- Water treatment aeration platforms
- Food processing conveyor supports
- Pharmaceutical clean room partitions
Common spec: 316L, 1.5mm wire, 12.7×12.7mm opening, custom cut-to-size panels.
3. Safety & Machine Protection
[IMG: safety-barrier-welded-mesh]
Heavy-duty welded mesh forms machine guarding, mezzanine railings, and perimeter barriers in:
- Warehouse safety cages
- Factory floor equipment enclosures
- Loading dock security gates
Common spec: 304, 5.0mm wire, 50×50mm opening, 2.0×2.5m panels.
Manufacturing Process
1. Wire drawing – Stainless steel rod is drawn to specified wire diameter (tolerance ±0.03mm)
2. Straightening & cutting – Wire is straightened and cut to precise length
3. Resistance welding – All intersections are welded simultaneously under controlled pressure and current
4. Inspection – Each panel is checked: weld shear strength, opening tolerance (within ±1.5mm), flatness
5. Edge preparation – Panel edges are deburred and squared (optional: welded edge frame for extra rigidity)
6. Packaging – Panels are banded with edge protectors, wrapped in moisture-proof paper, loaded on plywood pallets

FAQ
Q: What is the difference between 304 and 316 stainless steel welded mesh?
304 offers excellent corrosion resistance for general construction and indoor industrial use. 316 contains molybdenum, providing superior resistance to chlorides and acidic environments — essential for chemical plants, coastal areas, and food processing.
Q: Can you cut welded mesh to my exact dimensions?
Yes. We custom-shear panels to any size up to 2.4×6.0m. Provide your required width, length, and wire diameter for a precise quotation.
Q: What is the minimum order quantity?
For stock sizes: 50㎡. For custom specifications: 200㎡. We welcome smaller trial orders for new clients.
Q: How is the mesh packed for export?
Standard export packing: plywood pallet + steel bands + edge protectors + moisture-proof wrapping. Fumigation-free pallets available. Can be mixed with other products in one container.
Q: Do you provide material certification?
Yes. A mill test certificate per ASTM A580 is provided with every batch. Third-party inspection (SGS/BV) is available at buyer’s cost.
