Product Overview
Carbon steel wire mesh is a versatile metal mesh product manufactured by welding or weaving low-carbon steel wires into a grid pattern. Known for its high strength, uniform mesh openings, and excellent cost-to-performance ratio, carbon steel wire mesh is widely used in construction reinforcement, industrial filtration, security fencing, agriculture, and material handling. Huaxia-Steel supplies both welded wire mesh and woven wire mesh in a comprehensive range of wire diameters, mesh sizes, and panel dimensions, manufactured to international standards.
Our carbon steel wire mesh is produced from high-quality low-carbon wire rods (SAE 1006-1020 or equivalent), ensuring consistent tensile strength, uniform coating adhesion, and reliable weld integrity. Surface treatments include hot-dip galvanizing, electro-galvanizing, and PVC coating for corrosion protection in various environments.
