Brass wire mesh (cloth) and phosphor bronze wire mesh (wire cloth) are frequently used
as sieving and filtering materials in screening pellet, powder, porcelain clay and glass,
chinaware printing, filtering liquid and gas. Brass wire mesh enjoys greater strength than
copper wire mesh and bronze wire mesh. Brass wire cloth finds wide usage in traveling
water screens, radio frequency interference shielding, sugar and marine applications.
Wire meshes made of copper, phosphor bronze, stainless steel and silver are available.
