Brass Wire Mesh, For Cages, Weave Style : Plain Weave

Brass is an alloy that is comprised of copper and zinc, and, like copper, brass is soft and malleable and is attacked by ammonia and similar salts.

UNS C24000
CDA 240 has excellent strength, ductility, and corrosion resistance. Often used for musical instruments, battery caps, flexible hose, and decorative pieces.
Composition [Cu 80%, Zn 20%]
Specifications ASTM B36

UNS C26000
CDA 260 is the most ductile brass displaying superior results when cold worked and has excellent corrosion resistance.It is the most widely used alloy for cold headed products. It has a full-brass yellow colour and is often used for fasteners, hinges, radiator cores and tanks, plumbing accessories and aircraft materials.
Composition [Cu 70%, Zn 30%]
Specifications ASTM B134

UNS 27000
CDA 270 has excellent good corrosion resistance and strength. It has a similar ductility to CDA 260 and is often used for cold-headed parts.
Composition [Cu 65%, Zn 35%]
Specifications ASTM B134

The presence of zinc in brass woven wire mesh is important because it provides added abrasion resistance and allows for higher tensile strengths; it also hardens the mesh, compared to its softer copper woven wire mesh counterpart. For these reasons, brass wire mesh is commonly used in filtration and separation applications, and it is used to fabricate discs, especially in instances when electrical conductivity is not critical.
In most cases, industrial grade brass woven wire mesh has a golden yellow colour to it, and this unique colour makes it appealing for use in architectural, decorative and even artistic applications. Most of the wire mesh specifications that Indo German Wire Screen offers from stock can be cut to size with a pair of high-quality tin snips, or for many of the fine mesh options, a razor blade can be successfully used.
