Nickel mesh
Nickel mesh comes in two types: nickel wire mesh and nickel expanded metal mesh. Nickel mesh is ideal for applications requiring high corrosion resistance, high-temperature stability, and good electrical and thermal conductivity. Its unique properties make it an indispensable material in industries such as chemical processing, electronics, aerospace, and medical. While more expensive than some other mesh materials, its performance often justifies its cost-effectiveness in critical applications.
Product Features and Benefits
- Corrosion Resistance:
Nickel exhibits strong corrosion resistance even in harsh environments such as acids, alkalis, and salt water. - High-Temperature Stability:
Nickel maintains its strength and structural integrity at high temperatures, making it suitable for use in extreme conditions. - Electrical and Thermal Conductivity:
Nickel has good electrical and thermal conductivity, but not as high as copper or silver. - Magnetic Properties:
Nickel is ferromagnetic, making it useful in applications requiring magnetic properties.
