Phosphor Bronze Wire Mesh for Filtering, EMI Shielding and Decorates Cabinet, Window

Phosphor bronze woven wire mesh is a premium alloy mesh made from copper, tin, and phosphorus. It offers excellent corrosion resistance, fine electrical conductivity, and outstanding wear performance. With uniform weaving and stable structure, it is ideal for filtration, EMI shielding, and precision sieving applications. This mesh is widely used in electronics, aerospace, chemical processing, and architectural design. Available in various mesh counts and wire diameters, our phosphor bronze mesh ensures durability and reliability in demanding environments. Custom sizes and specifications are also available to meet your project needs.

Phosphor bronze woven wire mesh features non-magnetic, wear resistant, acid and alkali resistant and good ductility, and is typically used in the fields of filtration, screening and decoration.

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

Phosphor bronze is primarily composed of copper (Cu), tin (Sn), and a small percentage of phosphorus (P). The typical chemical composition of the wire used in phosphor bronze woven wire mesh is as follows:

Copper (Cu): 88–90%
Tin (Sn): 9.0–10.5%
Phosphorus (P): 0.03–0.35%

This specific alloy composition enhances the mesh’s mechanical strength, fatigue resistance, and corrosion resistance, especially in marine and chemical environments.
