Commonly used raw material grades for stainless steel expanded metal mesh include 302, 304, 304L, 316, and 316L. [3] According to the metallographic structure, it can be mainly divided into austenitic stainless steel (such as 304 and 316L of the 200/300 series), which is non-magnetic and has excellent corrosion resistance; ferritic stainless steel (such as 430 of the 400 series), which is magnetic and resistant to high-temperature oxidation; and martensitic stainless steel (such as 410 and 420), which can be heat-treated for strengthening and has high hardness.
Stainless steel expanded metal mesh is a mesh material made from stainless steel plates such as 302, 304, and 316 through a stamping and stretching process. It is also known as stainless steel stretched metal mesh or expanded metal mesh.
Its other names include stainless steel expanded mesh, stainless steel punched and stretched mesh, stainless steel stretched mesh, and stainless steel diamond mesh, etc. The main standards implemented include GB/T 11953-89 and HG/T 21559.3-2005.
