Everything That You Need To Know About #18: Phosphor Bronze Wire Mesh

phosphor bronze wire mesh
  • Category: Woven Wire Mesh

Phosphor bronze woven wire mesh is a popular material used in different industries.

Those who are looking for a versatile yet durable material can benefit from this type of wire mesh.

In this blog, we’ll discuss what bronze woven wire mesh is and why it can be a better choice compared to brass or copper.

We will also tackle its various applications and whether it can be used for RFI and EMI shielding.

Let’s get into it…

What Is Bronze Woven Wire Mesh?

First off, let’s clarify what exactly this material is.

Bronze metal mesh is a type of wire mesh that is composed of bronze wires that are woven together. It is usually made for fine mesh, which requires a fine wire to produce. Bronze can be made into heavy-duty specifications, but the vast majority of stocks produced around the world are for fine mesh options. 

Bronze wire mesh is commonly available in different alloys, including Phosphor Bronze, Silicon Bronze, and Aluminium Bronze, which determine its specific characteristics. We specialise in phosphor bronze. 

Bronze woven wire mesh is employed in various applications, including filtration, insect screens, and architectural decoration. It’s also used in the printing industry, pharmaceuticals, and as an alternative to other types of mesh in parts like engine oil filters, water purification, and fuel cells.

Benefits Of Bronze Over Brass Or Copper

Bronze has many advantages over other, more common, materials like brass or copper. Because of its composition, it has higher corrosion resistance, especially in marine environments.

This is because it contains a small amount of phosphorus, which improves its resistance to oxidation and corrosion. The addition of phosphorus also makes bronze stronger and more durable than pure copper.

Bronze is also less reactive to acids and chemicals. It has a lower melting point, which means it is easier to shape and mould. Moreover, bronze has better wear resistance, making it an ideal option for applications where the wire mesh will be subjected to constant or frequent friction.

What Are The Applications For Bronze Woven Wire Mesh?

As briefly mentioned above, bronze woven wire mesh has a wide range of applications, including filtering, screening, and diffusing.

It can be used in construction, architecture, and industrial industries.

We have found bronze mesh to be ideal for creating decorative or architectural features like balustrades, façade cladding, and roofing.

It is also used in food processing, mining, and chemical plants.

Bronze wire mesh can be used as filters, strainers, and sieves in a variety of equipment, like water filtration and oil exploration machinery.

Can It Be Used For RFI and EMI Shielding?

We recently wrote a detailed article on using copper as a radio frequency shield. But can phosphor bronze also be used for this purpose? 

RFI stands for Radio Frequency Interference, while EMI stands for Electromagnetic Interference. Both are unwanted noise that can affect the performance of electronic equipment.

Bronze woven wire mesh can be used for RFI and EMI shielding, making it an important material in the electronics industry.  This is because it has high electrical conductivity and excellent electromagnetic shielding properties. 

Our customers have used this wire mesh to create shielding enclosures and gaskets, which protect electronic equipment from unwanted signals.

Moreover, bronze offers excellent attenuation properties, which means it can reduce or eliminate electromagnetic interference and noise.

So yes, bronze is ideal for this purpose.

Choosing the right supplier is essential when it comes to getting high-quality and durable bronze woven wire mesh.

The Mesh Company is part of a group that has been making and supplying bronze woven wire mesh for many, many years. Our quality is the best possible, which we pair with our excellent customer service and dedication to helping our customers find the perfect material for their application. 

As this article illustrates, bronze woven wire mesh is a versatile material that can be used in a variety of industries, from construction to electronics.

Compared to the more standard brass or copper, bronze has better corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and is less reactive to acids and chemicals.4

It is an ideal material for filtering, screening, and diffusing, as well as decorative architectural features.

Bronze wire mesh can be used for RFI and EMI shielding, making it crucial in the electronics industry.

This truly is a valuable mesh material and we hope that this guide has answered any questions that you may have. 

As always, thank you for checking out our blog. We hope that this helps you with your project. We try to launch a couple of new guides every week. Eventually we will have covered everything there is to cover about mesh. 

While we have your attention, you may be interested in our blog that explores copper woven wire mesh 

Our goal for our blogs and help guides is to answer as many questions as possible to help to explain the possibilities of mesh to our customers.
