Welded Wire Mesh Rolls woven or fabricated in Monel 400 (UNS N04400 (2.4360)) keeps its dimensional specification to EN 10223-7 / ASTM A740; the alloy determines corrosion behavior (excellent resistance to seawater, hydrofluoric acid and alkalis) and the service temperature limit (approx. +540 °C). Both are covered below with the full specification table.
Why Choose Monel 400 for Welded Wire Mesh Rolls
The marine and chemical-processing specialist alloy. For welded wire mesh rolls, this matters when excellent resistance to seawater, hydrofluoric acid and alkalis is the controlling requirement.
Alloy Properties
| Grade designation | UNS N04400 (2.4360) |
|---|---|
| Magnetic response | Slightly magnetic |
| Service temperature | approx. +540 °C |
| Corrosion characteristic | Excellent resistance to seawater, hydrofluoric acid and alkalis |
Corrosion Behavior in Filtration Service
Nickel-family alloys are specified for welded wire mesh rolls when stainless is not enough: Monel 400 for seawater and hydrofluoric acid, Inconel 600 for oxidation at extreme temperature, Hastelloy C-276 for hot chlorides and mixed acids, titanium for chlorides with weight savings. Match the alloy to the specific chemistry — they are not interchangeable.
Cleaning & Compatibility
Special alloys tolerate aggressive cleaning chemistry, but confirm the specific acid/alkali against the alloy datasheet — e.g. Monel handles HF but not oxidizing nitric; titanium handles nitric but not HF. When welding elements into frames, use matching filler and inert-gas backing to preserve corrosion resistance at the joint.
