Description of Monel wire mesh
The Monel wire is a combination of Nickel and Copper making it one
of the most multipurpose and widely used nickel alloys. Monel comprises more than 60% of nickel content which offers intense resistance to a variety of corrosion
conditions including seawater, acidic and alkaline environments.
Compared to the common Stainless Steel Wire Mesh, The Monel wire mesh has a high melting point of 1300 F to 1350 F and strength superior to unalloyed nickel. Due to this unique
quality, it is being used inside high-temperature vessels and
petroleum applications.
