304 stainless steel wire mesh is woven from AISI 304 (UNS S30400) stainless steel wire, containing 18% chromium and 8% nickel. This composition provides excellent corrosion resistance in atmospheric environments, fresh water, and mild chemical exposures.
Our 304 wire mesh is manufactured on precision CNC looms, ensuring consistent mesh count and uniform openings. Every roll undergoes 100% inspection for mesh accuracy, wire diameter, and surface quality before shipping.
Available in three weaving patterns:
Plain Weave — Each warp wire passes alternately over and under each weft wire. Most common and economical pattern.
Twill Weave — Each warp wire passes over two and under two weft wires. Allows heavier wire with finer mesh.
Dutch Weave — Warp wires are heavier, weft wires are finer. Creates very small openings for fine filtration.
Excellent Corrosion Resistance
18% Cr + 8% Ni provides outstanding resistance to atmospheric corrosion, fresh water, and many mild chemicals.
Superior Formability
Austenitic structure allows deep drawing, bending, and stamping without cracking or work hardening issues.
Temperature Resistance
Service temperature range from -196°C to 800°C. Maintains strength and corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures.
Hygienic & Cleanable
Smooth, non-porous surface prevents bacterial adhesion. Ideal for food, pharmaceutical, and sanitary applications.

304 SS wire mesh can operate continuously at temperatures up to 870°C (1600°F) in intermittent service and 925°C (1700°F) in continuous service. For cryogenic applications, it remains tough down to -196°C.
304 SS has moderate corrosion resistance in marine environments but is not recommended for continuous saltwater exposure. For marine applications, 316 SS with molybdenum is strongly recommended.
Yes, 304 SS has excellent weldability using all standard welding methods (TIG, MIG, resistance welding). No post-weld annealing is required for most applications, though it may improve corrosion resistance.
Stainless Steel Ferrule Rope Mesh is a high-performance flexible mesh system manufactured from premium stainless steel wire ropes and ferrule fittings. It combines excellent strength, corrosion resistance and modern appearance, making it an ideal solution for architectural, industrial and safety applications.
As a professional stainless steel rope mesh manufacturer, we provide customized cable mesh solutions using high-quality SUS304 and SUS316 stainless steel materials to meet different project requirements worldwide.
What Is Stainless Steel Ferrule Rope Mesh?
Stainless Steel Ferrule Rope Mesh is made by connecting stainless steel wire ropes with metal ferrule sleeves to create a flexible diamond-shaped mesh structure.
Compared with traditional rigid wire mesh, ferrule rope mesh offers better flexibility, lightweight construction and three-dimensional adaptability. The unique cable structure allows it to be installed on curved surfaces and complex architectural designs.
Main components include:
Stainless steel wire rope
Ferrule sleeves
