The term “stainless steel”does not simply refer to a kind of stainless steel. It means more than one hundred kinds of industrial stainless steel. And each stainless steel developed plays its good characteristics in its specific application field. Therefore, the key to choosing stainless steel is that first we have to figure out the use. According to the field of application of their own products, then we can determine the correct type of steel.
In addition to the common 304 stainless steel model, there are many types of stainless steel, such as 404 stainless steel. The two kinds of stainless steel have very different performance characteristics. 404 stainless steel is a high carbon content of stainless steel. The market is called stainless steel, containing chromium alloy, can have rust and corrosion resistance. But the chromium nickel stainless steel is much lower, and the iron will rust over a long time. 304 stainless steel is ultra-low carbon, no rust, late almost no need for maintenance, has the most advantages.
The texture of stainless steel 304 and 404:
304 stainless steel has low carbon content, containing more than 18% chromium and more than 8% nickel. This material has good density, high temperature resistance of 800 degrees, high toughness and corrosion resistance. 304 stainless steel has good corrosion resistance and good pressure resistance, which is very suitable for application in food processing, building decoration, zoo nets, building anti-fall nets, football field fences and other fields.
404 stainless steel contains 1.0% carbon and 16%-18% chromium, which has good dimensional stability at high temperatures of 40 degrees. This material has high hardness after quenching and is mainly used for scalpels, scissors, bearings and high-quality cutting tools.
The distinction of stainless 304 and 404:
1. The difference between the two is still more. First of all, the magnetism is not the same. 404 stainless steel has a certain magnetic, 304 stainless steel is not magnetic, indicating that 404 stainless steel has an iron composition.
2. Compared with 404 stainless steel, the second difference lies in the performance, 304 stainless steel has better performance and stronger flexibility. 404 stainless steel hardness is high, but is not flexible. As a flexible zoo mesh, this is not the advantage of 404 stainless steel.
3. 404 stainless steel bearing capacity and rust resistance is poor. Oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance is slightly poor, easy to rust. 304 stainless steel has strong pressure resistance, good corrosion resistance, long service life up to 30 years and will not rust.
The application and advantages of 304 stainless steel mesh:
We all know that stainless steel wire mesh is widely used. Stainless steel can be used outdoors as stainless steel fences, such as garden fences, stadium fences and building guardrails. Liulin stainless steel mesh is suitable for many zoo mesh: monkey fence enclosure mesh, aviary netting, tiger enclosure mesh, lion mesh, parrot aviary mesh, etc.
1. Good corrosion resistance: 304 stainless steel wire mesh is given excellent corrosion resistance. In general oxidizing media, such as atmosphere, water, acid and alkali, 304 stainless steel wire mesh can effectively resist corrosion and extend life.
2. High strength and wear resistance: 304 stainless steel wire mesh has good mechanical properties and can withstand large loads. At the same time, it has high surface hardness, strong scratch resistance and is not easy to be worn. Whether it is a parrot’s hard beak or a tiger’s sharp claws, 304 stainless steel wire mesh can easily cope.
3. Easy processing and shaping: 304 stainless steel wire mesh has excellent plasticity and can be used for various processing operations, such as bending and cutting. This makes it widely used in many industries to meet the needs of different shapes and sizes.
4. Providing a beautiful appearance: 304 stainless steel wire mesh has a silver luster, elegant, high-end, increasing the visual appeal of the product, improving the texture and quality of the product.
5. High temperature resistance: It can maintain good strength and stability in high temperature environment. And it is not easy to deformation and decoloration.
All in all, 304 stainless steel wire mesh with its corrosion resistance, strength, wear resistance, processability and aesthetic advantages to meet the needs of different industries.
The following are stainless steel cable mesh used in various protective areas within zoo mesh:Walk in aviary; Large bird aviary; Parrots aviary mesh; Monkey enclosure; Black cable mesh; Tiger fence mesh; Deer fence net; Leopard enclosure; Lion fence mesh……
