Drahtgeflechtes

Drahtgeflechtes, commonly translated as wire mesh or wire fabric, refers to a material constructed from wires woven, welded, or otherwise joined together to form a grid or mesh pattern. The specific method of construction and the type of wire used significantly influence the properties and applications of drahtgeflechtes. Woven wire mesh is created by interlacing wires, similar to weaving fabric, resulting in flexible sheets with diamond or square openings. Welded wire mesh is formed by joining wires at their intersections using electric welding, producing a more rigid structure with precise square or rectangular openings.

The materials used for drahtgeflechtes vary widely, including stainless steel, carbon steel, galvanized steel, brass, copper, and various alloys. The choice of material depends on factors such as corrosion resistance, strength, flexibility, and cost requirements. Stainless steel is frequently chosen for its durability and resistance to rust, making it suitable for outdoor applications and food processing. Galvanized steel offers a cost-effective solution with good corrosion protection due to its zinc coating.

Drahtgeflechtes has a broad range of applications across numerous industries. In construction, it is used for reinforcement in concrete, plaster lath, and as protective screening. The agricultural sector utilizes it for fencing, animal enclosures, and horticultural support. Filtration and separation processes in chemical engineering and food production often employ fine mesh screens. Decorative purposes, such as in furniture, lighting, and architectural elements, also utilize drahtgeflechtes. Its versatility stems from its ability to provide structural support, containment, protection, and separation while allowing for airflow or passage of liquids.
