Phosphor Bronze Wire Mesh Ideal Wire Mesh For Many Industries

Phosphor Bronze Wire Mesh

Finding materials with resistance to corrosion brought about by chemicals is a dilemma for many industries that work with chemical compounds. Wire meshes made of Phosphor Bronze are stronger and can withstand exposure to chemicals making it the ideal wire mesh for many industries. Phosphor Bronze is composed of tin, copper and phosphorous, three chemical compounds that when mixed together make the wire mesh malleable and solderable thus making it easier to manufacture fine structure meshes.
