Crimped wire mesh is a strong and versatile material widely used in construction, mining, fencing, and industrial applications. Its unique wavy pattern provides stability and strength. Here’s a clear look at how it’s made:

1. Selecting the Wire

The process starts with choosing the right wire material—commonly stainless steel, carbon steel, or galvanized steel. The wire’s diameter is selected based on the required strength and mesh size.

2. Wire Drawing and Straightening

Large wire rods are drawn through dies to reach the desired thickness. The wire is then straightened to remove any natural bends or coils, ensuring consistent quality.

3. Crimping the Wire

The straightened wire passes through a crimping machine that presses it into a wave-like shape. This crimping can be double, intermediate, or lock-crimped, depending on the application. The crimping helps the wires interlock tightly when woven.

4. Weaving the Mesh

Crimped wires are woven together using a loom. The pre-crimped design keeps the wires firmly in place, creating square or rectangular openings. This step determines the mesh’s pattern and spacing.

5. Cutting and Finishing

After weaving, the mesh is cut to specific sizes. Finishing options, such as galvanizing or coating, can be applied to improve corrosion resistance and durability.
