Nickel Mesh has two types: Nickel Wire Mesh and Nickel Expanded Metal. Nickel mesh is ideal for applications requiring high corrosion resistance, high-temperature stability, and good electrical and thermal conductivity. Its unique properties make it indispensable in industries like chemical processing, electronics, aerospace, and medical. While it is more expensive than some other mesh materials, its performance often justifies the cost for critical applications.
Key Properties of Nickel Mesh:
1. Corrosion Resistance:
– Nickel is highly resistant to corrosion, even in harsh environments like acids, alkalis, and saltwater.
2. High-Temperature Stability:
– Nickel retains its strength and structural integrity at high temperatures, making it suitable for use in extreme conditions.
3. Electrical and Thermal Conductivity:
– Nickel has good electrical and thermal conductivity, though not as high as copper or silver.
4. Magnetic Properties:
– Nickel is ferromagnetic, making it useful in applications requiring magnetic properties.
Applications of Nickel Mesh:
1. Chemical Processing
– Filtration: Used in filters for corrosive chemicals, acids, and alkalis.
– Catalysis: Nickel mesh is used as a catalyst or catalyst support in chemical reactions.
2. Electronics and Electrical Engineering
– Battery Electrodes: Used in nickel-cadmium (NiCd) and nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries.
– EMI/RFI Shielding: Provides electromagnetic and radio frequency interference shielding.
3. Aerospace and Defense
– Heat Exchangers: Used in high-temperature heat exchangers and thermal management systems.
– Radar and Communication Systems: Used in antennas and other communication devices.
4. Medical and Healthcare
– Implants and Devices: used in medical implants and devices due to its biocompatibility and corrosion resistance.
5. Research and Development
– Laboratory Equipment: Used in high-precision experiments or as sample holders.
