The nickel is a sliver-white metal. According to the purity, the nickel has different material types, such as the N2, N4, N6 and N8. Nickel woven wire mesh is manufactured from nickel wire with high purity not less than 99%. The nickel wire is woven through plain weave and twill weave production to form the continuous and regular meshes.
Nickel woven wire mesh or low-alloy nickel woven wire mesh is useful in chemical processing because of its resistance to various chemicals including acid, alkali. It is also useful in the electronics due to its high electrical conductivity. The Nickel wire can be also used in the heat exchange due to its thermal conductivity and ductility.
