Alloy 20 Wire Mesh Manufacturer & Supplier in India
Alloy 20 Wire Mesh is a woven or welded mesh of UNS N08020 (Carpenter 20) alloy, a corrosion-resistant filtration, screening, separation, and protection mesh, used in aggressive chemical environments. It is common that the normal stainless steel cannot withstand, particularly in the acidic and sulphuric acid environment. Alloy 20 wire mesh is produced using a nickel-iron-chromium alloy that is made up of molybdenum and copper, which increases its resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking as well as provides long-term dimensional stability.
Alloy 20 wire mesh has very strong tensile strength, good ductility, and high deformation resistance to operating stress in terms of physical and mechanical properties. It retains its structural integrity at high temperatures and offers a smooth and uniform surface with uniform mesh holes. The wire mesh is manufactured according to the ASTM standards and can be of woven, welded, three-heddle and five-heddle weave designs with customized wire diameters and aperture sizes. The Alloy 20 wire mesh is generally utilized in chemical processing plants, filtration and separation systems, pollution control equipment, pharmaceutical production, food processing and in industrial screening applications. Kalpataru Piping is an reliable supplier of Alloy 20 Wire Mesh of high quality with manufacturing precision, quality control, and delivery reliability, which makes it a reliable partner in providing corrosion-resistant industrial solutions.
