Inconel mesh is made of premium nickel-chromium-based superalloys. It is designed for extreme heat, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength in the most demanding industrial environments. Known for its oxidation resistance and ability to maintain structural integrity under stress, Inconel mesh is widely used in aerospace, chemical processing, and power generation.
Inconel Mesh is available in many forms, such as rolls, sheets, custom-cut panels, perforated sheets, expanded metal, laser shaped mesh pieces and heat treating baskets or trays.
Key Features of Inconel Mesh:
✔ Exceptional high-temperature resistance (up to 2200°F / 1200°C for some grades).
✔ Outstanding oxidation & corrosion resistance (resists acids, chlorides, and seawater).
✔ High strength & creep resistance under thermal cycling and mechanical stress.
✔ Excellent fatigue resistance for long-term durability.
✔ Weldable and fabricable into custom mesh configurations.
Common Inconel Alloys Used for Mesh:
| Alloy | Key Properties | Best For |
| Inconel 600 | Resists oxidation & chlorides | Furnace components, chemical processing |
| Inconel 601 | Superior oxidation resistance | Heat treatment fixtures, radiant tubes |
| Inconel 625 | High strength, corrosion & fatigue resistance | Aerospace, marine, nuclear |
| Inconel 690 | superior oxidation & corrosion resistance | corrosive, oxidizing, or nuclear environments |
| Inconel 718 | Age-hardenable, extreme strength | Jet engines, gas turbines |
Applications of Inconel Mesh:
– Aerospace & Defense
– Turbine blade screens, exhaust systems, heat shields.
– Chemical & Petrochemical
– Acid filtration, reactor screens, catalyst support.
– Power Generation
– Gas turbine components, nuclear reactor internals.
– Marine & Offshore
– Seawater filtration, submarine components.
– Automotive (High-Performance)
– Turbocharger meshes, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems.

Comparison: Inconel vs. Stainless Steel vs. Hastelloy:
| Property | Inconel | 316 Stainless Steel | Hastelloy C276 |
| Max Temperature | Up to 2200°F (1200°C) | 1600°F (870°C) | 1900°F (1040°C) |
| Corrosion Resistance | Excellent (oxidation) | Good (general use) | Best (harsh acids) |
| Strength at High Temp | Superior | Moderate | High |
| Cost | High | Low | Very High |
Why Choose Inconel Mesh?
– Best for extreme heat + corrosion combo (e.g., jet engines, exhaust systems).
– Longer lifespan than stainless steel in aggressive environments.
– Maintains strength under thermal cycling (unlike many alloys).
Customization Options:
– Ultra-fine filtration (sub-micron) or heavy-duty structural mesh.
– Heat-treated (aged) for maximum strength (e.g., Inconel 718).
– Welded vs. woven construction (for rigidity or flexibility).
