Welded wire mesh is constructed with two orthogonal wires that are joined together at their intersections using a resistance welding process to form a grid. The line wires of the grid are guided through the welder using a pattern board.

Welded wire mesh consists of perpendicular wire strands that are welded at each intersection. This results in a solid construction that maintains its shape when stressed, with larger open areas than typical woven wire mesh. Because the individual wires are welded at the joints, thinner wires can be used over larger spaces while remaining strong and stable. Materials include carbon steel, galvanized steel and stainless wire mesh.

GAW (Galvanized After Welding) Welded Mesh

In this process, the mesh is hot-dipped galvanized after the wire is welded, coating all the weld intersections. GAW welded wire mesh performs well in damp environments and is used in applications such as ventilation screens, animal enclosures, and light duty industrial applications.

GBW (Galvanized Before Welding) Welded Mesh

In this process, the wire is coated prior to welding, leaving the welds uncoated. While GBW provides some protection against damp conditions, it is more prone to rust than GAW mesh. It is primarily used for indoor applications such as security screens and guards for machinery.

Welded Wire Mesh

Qijie Company is the leading industrial welded wire mesh supplier and manufacturer offering a full line of welded wire mesh products for a wide range of applications. Welded wire mesh is generally constructed in rolls or flat panels depending on the wire and opening size. Qijie’s welded wire mesh varieties include square and rectangular openings. Custom wire openings are available upon request. The intersections of the wire mesh are typically resistance-welded according to the alloy requirement. Weld set down (thickness of the welded intersection) and weld strength are determined by weld time, weld pressure, and weld temperature.
