Aluminum woven wire mesh is strong and lightweight approximately 1/3rd of the weight of stainless steel wire mesh, is also significant resistance for atmospheric corrosion and has high electrical conductivity and low melting point about 1120 Fahrenheit (660 Celsius). With these characteristics, aluminum woven wire mesh is a popular choice for a wide range of industries including aerospace and automotive, as well as marine and electrical conductivity applications. It is also a best choice of insect screen uses.
Runtech metal mesh is specialized in many standard or market grades of aluminum woven wire mesh in alloy 5154, 5052 and 5056.4
