Brass Wire Mesh

Brass is an alloy that is comprised of copper and zinc, and, like copper, brass
is soft and malleable and is attacked by ammonia and similar salts.
Brass Wire Mesh Description
The presence of zinc in brass woven wire mesh is important because it provides
added abrasion resistance and allows for higher tensile strengths; it also
hardens the mesh, compared to its softer copper woven wire mesh counterpart.
For these reasons, brass wire mesh is commonly used in filtration and
separation applications, and it is used to fabricate discs, especially in
instances when electrical conductivity is not critical.
In most cases, industrial grade brass woven wire mesh has a golden yellow color
to it, and this unique color makes it appealing for use in architectural,
decorative and even artistic applications. Most of the wire mesh specifications
that Darby offers from stock can be cut to size with a pair of high-quality tin
snips, or for many of the fine mesh options, a razor blade can be successfully
used.
