Teräsverkoin

Teräsverkoin is a Finnish term that translates to "steel wire" or "steel mesh" in English. It commonly refers to a woven or welded structure made from steel wires, used in a variety of applications. The specific construction of teräsverkoin can vary greatly depending on its intended purpose, ranging from fine mesh used for screening to robust grids employed for structural reinforcement.

In construction, teräsverkoin is frequently utilized as reinforcing mesh for concrete. This steel mesh provides tensile strength to concrete, helping to prevent cracking and increasing the overall durability of structures like walls, floors, and foundations. Its presence distributes stress evenly, making the concrete less susceptible to damage from expansion, contraction, or external loads.

Beyond construction, teräsverkoin finds applications in agriculture, for example, in the creation of animal enclosures or fencing, where its strength and durability are advantageous. It can also be used in industrial settings for filtration, sieving, or as protective barriers. The versatility of teräsverkoin stems from the inherent strength of steel, combined with the adaptability of its woven or welded forms to create structures of varying rigidity and aperture size. The production process typically involves drawing steel rods into wires, which are then cut and formed into the desired mesh pattern.
