Industrial Wire Mesh Basket in Inconel 600 (UNS N06600 (2.4816)) is used for holding machined, stamped and cast parts through washing, degreasing, heat treatment, dip coating and storage in welded wire or expanded metal baskets built to the line. The alloy gives excellent oxidation resistance at extreme temperature and is essentially non-magnetic, with a practical service limit of approx. +1000 °C (short excursions higher).

Where Inconel 600 Industrial Wire Mesh Basket Is Used
- Automotive & machining: parts-washing and degreasing baskets that fit washer chambers.
- Heat treatment shops: baskets for hardening, carburizing and annealing furnaces.
- Surface finishing: pickling, passivation, dip coating and plating baskets.
- Warehousing & logistics: stackable wire mesh baskets for small parts.
Ordering Industrial Wire Mesh Basket in Inconel 600
- Size & load: Give inner dimensions, stacking height and maximum payload at operating temperature.
- Mesh & wire: Opening smaller than the smallest part; heavier wire and frame rods for furnace work.
- Alloy: SS304 for washing to 800 °C; 310S or Inconel 600 for furnaces above 900 °C.
Mistakes to Avoid with Industrial Wire Mesh Basket
- Choosing a mesh opening larger than small fasteners or pins, which fall through.
- Running SS304 baskets above 900 °C, where they scale and distort quickly.
