Inconel Wire Mesh – High-Temperature & Corrosion-Resistant Alloy Mesh

Inconel wire mesh is a woven wire mesh product made from Inconel alloys, primarily nickel-chromium-based superalloys known for their exceptional resistance to heat, oxidation, and corrosion. These properties make Inconel mesh suitable for use in harsh environments such as chemical processing, aerospace, marine, and high-temperature furnace applications.

Compared with stainless steel or other conventional alloys, Inconel mesh maintains mechanical strength and stability even when exposed to extreme temperatures (up to 1000–1200°C / 1830–2190°F), making it a premium choice for demanding industries.

Weave Types Available

Plain Weave

Plain Weave is the simplest and most common weave pattern for woven wire mesh. In this design, each wire passes alternately over and under one wire in both the warp (longitudinal) and weft (transverse) directions, forming a criss-cross pattern with square openings. This straightforward structure provides a good balance between filtration and flow rate, making it suitable for applications where moderate particle retention and consistent flow are required. Its inherent strength and durability also make it a reliable choice for general-purpose filtration tasks.

Twill Weave

Twill Weave is a more intricate pattern where each wire passes over two wires and under two wires, with an offset in each row that creates a distinctive diagonal appearance. This design allows for a tighter mesh with smaller openings compared to Plain Weave, even when using wires of the same diameter. As a result, Twill Weave offers finer filtration while maintaining higher flow rates due to its increased open area. It is ideal for applications requiring enhanced particle retention without significantly compromising fluid throughput.

Plain Dutch Weave

Plain Dutch Weave introduces a variation by using wires of different diameters: thicker warp wires and thinner weft wires. The weft wires are woven in a plain weave pattern—over and under one warp wire—but the differing wire sizes produce slot-like, rather than square, openings. This structure excels at retaining very small particles while still allowing a relatively high flow rate, making it a popular choice for fine filtration needs. The thicker warp wires also contribute to good durability, enhancing its suitability for demanding applications.

Twill Dutch Weave

Twill Dutch Weave combines the Dutch weave concept with a twill pattern. Like Plain Dutch Weave, it uses thicker warp wires and thinner weft wires, but the weft wires pass over and under two warp wires with an offset, similar to Twill Weave. This results in an even tighter mesh than Plain Dutch Weave, enabling finer filtration capabilities. Additionally, Twill Dutch Weave can withstand higher pressures and maintain good flow rates, making it well-suited for applications requiring precise filtration under challenging conditions.

Materials Chemical Composition

According to their different chemical compositions, Inconel alloys can be classified into several grades, including Inconel 600, 601, 617, 625, 718, and X-750.

Inconel 600, 601, and 617 → Nickel–chromium–iron based solid solution strengthened alloys, providing excellent resistance to oxidation and carburization at high temperatures.

Inconel 625 → Known for outstanding corrosion resistance in acidic and seawater environments, combined with good weldability, making it ideal for chemical processing and marine applications.

Inconel 718 → Strengthened by gamma double prime (γʺ) precipitation, offering excellent weldability, high strength, and creep resistance — widely used in aerospace and power generation.

Inconel X-750 → Precipitation-hardened alloy with excellent creep resistance and oxidation stability, making it suitable for gas turbine components and other high-temperature structural parts.
