Welded Wire Mesh

Welded wire mesh is a type of mesh that is made by connecting parallel or perpendicular steel bars in a woven pattern, with a perpendicular angle between them. The bars are welded together using spot welding, creating strong connections and making it a sturdy structure used in the construction industry.

There are two fundamental forms of galvanized wires:

  • Galvanized before welding (GBW)
  • Galvanized after welding (GAW)

Galvanized Before Welding:

In this procedure, each wire strand is galvanized individually before welding them with each other to form a mesh. This technique usually covers up the juncture of the wires with the welding metal. This makes this method cost-effective and is cheap for the consumer.

Galvanized After Welding:

In this technique, the wires are first welded together to form sheets or wire meshes. Then each of these wire mesh sheets is individually galvanized. However, the production of these sheets is costly and time-consuming. The presence of small diameter holes also makes galvanization a difficult job.

Project Building:

In the construction industry, these wire meshes play a huge role. These meshes are used to act as a screen that could hold the cement mixture. They are used in both horizontal and vertical sections. In most cases, these wires are set along with the cement to increase the strength and rigidity of the building.

The main application of welded wire mesh in the construction industry is to reinforce concrete. Concrete is weak in tensile strength, using mesh increases its strength and reinforces it against tension. Due to its geometric shape and high network resistance, the use of welded wire mesh accelerates construction operations and saves costs, time, and steel bars. Fine mesh is also often used for three-dimensional panels and reinforced concrete beams, among other applications.

This product is known in the market by names such as pre-welded mesh, steel wire mesh, wire mesh, but the most common name is mesh. It is also referred to as engineering mesh or BRC mesh, which is its abbreviated name and is popular and widely known worldwide.

Welded wire mesh is generally produced in two categories: plain and ribbed.

The material of the mesh can be black iron, galvanized wire, or galvanized steel wire, and the mesh grids are welded together. The wires used in welded wire meshes have various thicknesses, as they are made in different thicknesses according to their applications.

Wire mesh is extensively being used in industries such as agriculture, industry, transportation, gardening, food, mining, fencing, decoration, and other industries. The square-shaped openings in the mesh allow for easy airflow and, in the event of a fire, do not block the path of water.
