6. FAQ
Q: What are the main differences between industrial grade and medical grade stainless steel wire mesh?
A: Medical grade wire mesh has stricter requirements for material purity, biocompatibility, surface finish, and dimensional precision. Medical grade wire mesh must comply with ISO 10993 biocompatibility standards, while industrial grade wire mesh primarily focuses on mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.
Q: Why is 316L stainless steel wire mesh suitable for medical implants?
A: 316L stainless steel contains molybdenum, offering excellent corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. It remains stable in the human body environment without releasing harmful ions. Its low carbon content provides good weldability.
Q: What is the minimum aperture achievable for precision stainless steel wire mesh?
A: Precision woven wire mesh can achieve minimum apertures of approximately 5 microns. Dutch weave can achieve even finer filtration precision. Specific aperture depends on wire diameter and weaving method.
Q: How do I choose the appropriate weaving method for wire mesh?
A: Plain weave is suitable for general filtration; twill weave offers higher porosity; Dutch weave can achieve smaller apertures and higher filtration precision. Selection requires comprehensive consideration of filtration precision and strength requirements.
Q: What is the minimum order quantity for custom wire mesh?
A: MOQs depend on specifications and processes. Standard specifications in stock have lower MOQs; custom specifications and special processes have higher MOQs.
