Stainless steel is a sturdy and versatile material that has become a popular choice in various industrial and domestic applications due to its durability and resistance to rust and corrosion. One particular type of stainless steel that is in high demand is fine gauze metal, which has a 0.3mm hole and a 0.2mm wire. This type of metal excels in filtration and straining applications, making it ideal for use in the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries. With its 50 holes per linear inch, it allows for efficient and effective filtering without compromising on quality, making it a reliable choice for many industries.

Wait!! Before you order your mesh please first check out our clearance listing which is where we put all of our over-run bargain rolls at reduced prices. You never know, you might find just the roll that you need for your purposes.

We also offer a massive range of 304 stainless steel perforated metal sheet options from immediate stock. In order to produce stainless steel perforated metal sheet, flat sheet metal is punched with round or square holes. Perforated sheets are commonly often used in applications where the passing of air is required. Because the holes are punched, it is possible to have a far stronger finished metal product than it would be for the equivalent thickness in woven or welded mesh.

FAQs For This Product

How Is This Wire Gauze Mesh Manufactured?

0.3mm hole stainless woven wire gauze metal is manufactured through a process called weaving. Here are the steps involved in the manufacturing process:

1. Wire drawing: The first step in the process involves drawing stainless steel wire. The wire is drawn through a series of dies to reduce its diameter and improve its tensile strength.
2. Wire annealing: After the wire is drawn, it is annealed to remove any stress and improve its ductility. This is done by heating the wire to a high temperature and then slowly cooling it.
3. Wire weaving: The next step involves weaving the wire together to form the mesh. The wires are interlaced in a pattern that creates openings or holes of a specific size and shape, in this case, 0.3mm holes. The mesh can be woven to various weave types. The vast majority of woven mesh materials are a plain woven pattern.
4. Mesh trimming: After the mesh is woven, it is trimmed to the desired size and shape using cutting tools such as shears or saws. Rolls tend to be made to 30 metre x 1.2 metres.
5. Surface treatment: The final step involves treating the mesh surface to improve its properties such as corrosion resistance or durability. This may involve processes such as electroplating, coating or passivation.

How Do I Cut Woven Gauze Metal?

Cutting woven gauze metal can be a delicate and challenging task. Here are some steps that you can follow to cut it:

1. Gather the necessary tools: To cut the woven gauze metal, you will need a sharp pair of scissors or wire cutters, a ruler or measuring tape, and a cutting mat or other protective surface. We would suggest that you use kitchen scissors. See our video showing how we cut a similar wire mesh material.
2. Measure and mark: Measure the length of the metal gauze that you need to cut and mark the cutting line with a pencil or marker. This is not essential as you may be able to follow the line of the mesh by eye, as our team would do.
3. Secure the gauze: Use clamps or tape to secure the gauze to a flat surface, such as a cutting mat or workbench, to prevent it from moving during the cutting process. Again, this is not essential, it would make the task easier however.
4. Cut carefully: Using your scissors, carefully cut along the marked cutting line or along the aperture row of the mesh. Take your time and make small cuts to ensure that you do not accidentally cut too much or damage the gauze.
5. Check the cut: After cutting, inspect the edges of the gauze to make sure they are clean and free of jagged edges or burrs.

If you cross over the gauze it may become sharp and impact the structure of the gauze.

Will It Rust?

304 stainless steel is an austenitic steel alloy that contains a minimum of 18% chromium and 8% nickel, which provides it with excellent corrosion resistance properties.

This makes it the most popular choice for many applications, including the manufacturing of fine gauze. 304 stainless steel fine gauze is highly resistant to rust and corrosion in most environments, even when exposed to saltwater or other corrosive substances. However, in certain conditions, such as prolonged exposure to highly acidic or alkaline substances or exposure to chloride, it may experience corrosion or pitting. To prevent rust, it is important to clean and maintain the gauze regularly and to use it in environments that are suitable for its corrosion resistance properties. If you require gauze metal to be used in a coastal area then we recommend 316 grade stainless steel.

Is It Available In Other Metals?

Yes it is available in mild steel. This is a slightly lower cost option.
