Wire Mesh Series
Wire Mesh Series
As the name suggests, the shape of hexagonal mesh openings is hexagonal. This hexagonal structure allows the hexagonal mesh to evenly distribute force in all directions when it is stressed. Hexagonal mesh offers greater stability than quadrilateral mesh.
As the name suggests, the shape of hexagonal mesh openings is hexagonal. This hexagonal structure allows the hexagonal mesh to evenly distribute force in all directions when it is stressed. Hexagonal mesh offers greater stability than quadrilateral mesh. For example, when the hexagonal wire mesh is subjected to external pressure, each node of the hexagonal mesh can effectively share the force, just like a honeycomb structure, and can withstand larger loads without being easily deformed.
Hexagonal mesh is generally woven from metal wires (such as galvanized steel wire, Galvan steel wire, etc.). During the weaving process, the metal wires are intertwined to form a tight mesh structure. This weaving method ensures the integration and flexibility of the net, allowing it to be properly bent and adjusted according to the shape and requirements of the installation sites.
The raw material is mainly low-carbon steel.
According to different surface treatments, hexagonal metal wire mesh can be divided into two types: galvanized metal wire and PVC-coated metal wire. Galvanized hexagonal wire mesh is available in wire diameters from 0.3mm to 2.0mm, and PVC coated hexagonal wire mesh is available in wire diameters from 0.8mm to 2.6mm. Hexagonal mesh has good flexibility and corrosion resistance and is widely used as gabion mesh to protect slopes.
The hexagonal wire mesh can be divided into chicken wire and slope protection wire (or gabion mesh). The former has a smaller mesh opening.
Straight twist, or reverse twist, or two-way twist.
Galvanized before weaving or galvanized after weaving.
Simple and quick installation without special technology requirements; strong corrosion resistance and weather resistance; good stability and collapse resistance; high compressibility; low transportation costs and long service life.
Its good flexibility will rincrease the cushioning force of objects, too.
Hexagonal wire mesh: hot-dip galvanized after weaving.
