Stainless Steel Wire Mesh
310 stainless steel wire mesh has a higher nickel content than 309 stainless steel, and provides good strength and oxidation resistance at temperatures up to 2000°F. 310 stainless steel is often referred to as 25-20 stainless steel due to its 25% chromium and 20% nickel composition. 310 stainless steel offers superior performance to both 304 and 309 in most environments as a result of this high chromium and nickel content.

310 stainless steel wire cloth is principally used in applications where a combination of corrosion and oxidation resistance, strength, and toughness is a must. As such, 310 wire cloth is commonly used in chemical processing equipment, heat exchangers, and oil field / refinery equipment. Additional industries and applications which commonly use 310 stainless steel wire cloth include:
