330 Stainless Steel Wire Mesh – Alloy Overview
Type 330 stainless steel wire mesh is a high nickel-chromium-silicon stainless steel alloy most frequently used in high-temperature environments. The high nickel (34-37%) and chromium (17-20%) content provides superior resistance to oxidation and carburization, properties which are further enhanced by its silicon addition (0.75-1.5%). T-330 stainless steel wire cloth is often used in place of other stainless steel alloys due to its superior resistance to heat and thermal shock. Some characteristics of 330 stainless steel wire cloth which dictate its use are:
- Austenitic stainless steel.
- Non-magnetic when annealed.
- Slightly magnetic when cold worked.
- Withstands outdoor exposure without rusting.
- Excellent corrosion resistance in broad range of industrial and chemical settings.
- Superior resistance to oxidation and carburization, with high strength, up to 2200°F.
- Can be used in sulfur controlling oxidizing gases up to 1900°F.
- Heating permitted between 1500°F – 2150°F temperatures.
- Can be cut, formed, and welded.
Industries & Applications
T-330 stainless steel wire cloth is principally used in high-temperature settings where good resistance to carburization and thermal cycling is a must. T-330 wire cloth is commonly used in chemical processing equipment, heat exchangers, and oil field / refinery equipment. Additional industries and applications which commonly use T-330 stainless steel wire cloth include:
- Annealing Parts
- Carburizing Boxes
- Furnace Parts
- Gas Turbines
- Heat Treating Baskets
- Liquid Filtration & Particle Separation
- Mining & Quarrying
- Neutral and Cyanide Salt Pots
- Power Generation
Common Aliases
