Can 304 Stainless Steel Woven Metal Mesh Rust?
2025-07-14 12:01
SS 304L fine mesh roll, as a commonly used metal filter material, has good corrosion resistance and strength, but in certain environments, if it is not used or maintained well, SS 304L fine mesh roll may still rust.
304 stainless steel is corrosion resistant because of the passivation film formed on the surface of SS 304L fine mesh roll. This kind of alloy with a chromium content of more than 18% will automatically generate a chromium oxide protective layer when it comes into contact with oxygen. In the general atmospheric environment and clear water, this protective layer can effectively prevent rust, and the SS 304L fine mesh roll can be well preserved. However, in coastal areas or environments with severe industrial pollution, chloride ions and acidic substances may destroy this protective film and local rust spots may appear. The SS 304L fine mesh roll we produce, even if it is used in harsh environments, can be less prone to rust than ordinary SS 304L fine mesh roll.
Special working conditions require special attention. When exposed to corrosive substances such as acids, alkalis, and salts for a long time, the corrosion resistance of SS 304L fine mesh roll will decrease. High temperature environments can also accelerate material corrosion, especially in environments containing sulfides. If there are scratches or welding marks on the surface, these locations are more likely to rust. Proper cleaning and maintenance can increase the service life of SS 304L fine mesh roll.
Shenyang Shuguang Network Industry Co., Ltd. It is a professional manufacturer of stainless steel mesh. We can provide standard products and pay more attention to solving practical problems for customers. For different use environments, the most suitable solution can be recommended. For highly corrosive environments, we will recommend upgrading to 316L stainless steel. Of course, 316L stainless steel wire mesh is also produced by our company. No matter what kind of mesh size, mesh size, or special requirements for the thickness of stainless steel wire you need, we can meet them.
We have complete production lines and testing equipment. We strictly test every process, and we pay attention to communication and cooperation with customers, and provide professional suggestions and solutions from the beginning of understanding customer needs. In the production process, timely feedback on the progress, flexible adjustment according to customer opinions, to ensure that every customized 304 stainless steel woven metal mesh can be adapted to customer usage scenarios.
Therefore, 304 stainless steel woven metal mesh will rust if it is not used and maintained well. Correct cleaning and subsequent maintenance are very important, so I will introduce to you in the next article how to prevent 304 stainless steel woven metal mesh from rusting.
