316 stainless steel wire mesh contains higher nickel content than SS 304 mesh therefore it provides better corrosion resistance particularly in chloride media where the risk of pitting attack occurs. Grade 316l mesh also offers great resistance to intergranular attack subsequent to welding or stress relieving and has outstanding crevice resistance and great creeping strength. SS 316l mesh is used in seawater application components, conveyors and food processing equipments.
