Drahtwendeln

Drahtwendeln, also known as wire mesh or wire cloth, refers to a manufactured textile of wire held in a regular grid by wire intersections. The diameter of the wire can vary from fine to coarse, and the density of the mesh is adjusted by altering the distance between the wires. This structure provides unique mechanical properties such as high tensile strength, flexibility, and resistance to wear.

The applications of Drahtwendeln are diverse and have expanded since its inception. Initially, it was used in window screening to filter out insects and larger debris from entering the home. Commercial uses for Drahtwendeln include applications in construction, where it serves as reinforcement in concrete and masonry. Additionally, medical professionals utilize it in various medical instruments and implants. The material is also used in sports equipment, such as golf baskets and booth surrounds.

Manufacturing processes for Drahtwendeln vary and are often customized according to the intended use. The process typically begins with unwinding the wire to be used, which is then stretched and welded onto a tape or a cylindrical shape. The mesh is then subjected to heat treatments to enhance its stability and wire conductivity.

Drahtwendeln is also hygienically suitable for filtering, cleaning, and disinfecting various household items and medical objects. Since it can be sterilized by fire, it is effectively used for air purification and service of drilling and hole opening machines in steel working industry.

Alternative wire mesh forms mentioned are woven wire mesh and metal net.At present, there are many forms of trim products used in Japanese related purposes that originated the production name of Japanese DAWADA.
