Crimped mesh and plain weave mesh are similar in appearance, which is easy to cause confusion. In fact, these two products are not the same. This article helps you understand the difference between the two to choose the right screen.
The plain weave mesh is directly woven with iron wire. The reason for the corrugation is that the loom has a strong punching force and can punch straight wires into bent wires during the weaving process. In this case, the wire is usually less than 0.7 mm. After all, the rigidity is relatively small, so you can directly use the machine to do it.
Advantages of plain weave mesh
The advantage of plain weave mesh is that the entire mesh surface is plate-shaped, and the mesh surface is very firm and will not deform at all.
The crimping net is a processing method of knitting after crimping, that is, crimping the wires one by one with a crimping machine and then weaving. This can ensure that each wire is in a relatively correct position, and the mesh structure is relatively strong. Another reason is that it can be produced using relatively rigid steel wires, usually with steel wires above 0.7 mm.
Crimped Wire Mesh is a plain weave made of metal wires that have been bent into a wave shape in advance. Since the metal wire is pre-bent and formed by a mold, the metal wire in the two directions can be placed in a relatively accurate position, thereby ensuring the consistency of the mesh size.
The square mesh woven by the ginning loom on various materials of metal wire has a strong structure, strong impact resistance, abrasion resistance, low cost, and long-term uniformity, and beautiful appearance of the mesh.
Comparing these two products, you will find that the stability of the plain weave mesh is higher than that of the crimped mesh, because the stress points between the lines are large and will not be easily deformed. Although there is no change in the position of the line in the crimping net, the stress point between the line is relatively small, and the diagonal force will still cause deformation. Of course, this does not mean that the crimping network is not good. In some applications, the crimping net cannot be replaced by the plaintext net. It all depends on the specific application.
