Carbon Steel & Specialty Coated Wire Mesh Wire Cloth & Screen
Dorstener Wire Tech offers the following carbon steel and specialty coated wire mesh wire cloth products to fit your application.
Low Carbon Steel Wire Mesh Wire Cloth
Low Carbon steel (C1008) is frequently used in the manufacture of industrial woven and welded wire mesh products due to its low cost and ease of workability. This material has a low resistance to abrasion, chemical attack and corrosion. This material is available in bright and black annealed. Our bright annealed material is much cleaner than standard commodity black steel.
Galvanized Carbon Steel Wire Mesh Wire Cloth
Galvanized or Zinc coated steel offer superior corrosion resistance compared to standard carbon steel without the expense of stainless steel mesh. GAW (Galvanized After Welded/Woven) and GBW (Galvanized Before Welded/Woven) are common terms in the industry. There are various methods of galvanizing. Two of the most common are electro galvanized wire (prior to weaving/welding) and hot dipped galvanized mesh (post weaving/welding).
Copper Flashed / Copper Coated Carbon Steel Wire Mesh Wire Cloth
Copper Flashed steel provides some protection from corrosion and is also used to provide a stable wire for post processing such as nickel or chrome plating.
High Carbon Steel Wire Mesh Wire Cloth
High Carbon steel is primarily used when resistance to abrasion and impact is required. This material is commonly used in sizing of aggregate materials.
Painted and Epoxy Coated Steel Wire Mesh Wire Cloth
We also offer custom applications of specialty paints and epoxy coatings. Epoxy coatings normally add stability to light wire diameter mesh products such as filter support and window screen.
Nickel Based Alloys Woven Wire Cloth
Dorstener Wire offers a wide variety of nickel based alloys woven wire cloth. The nickel based alloys material grades include: Nickel 200, Monel 400, Inconel 600, and Incoloy 800. Nickel based alloys are best used for corrosive and high temperature applications.
Nickel 200
Used in applications where high corrosion properties are required. Some applications could include several chemicals, caustics, and certain organic acids.
Monel 400
One of the most widely used alloys for high corrosion resistance. Used in many food and chemical processes. Monel is a registered trade mark for International Nickel Co INCO.
Inconel 600

DWT’s welded mesh products are offered with the following configurations:
- Opening size, or mesh count, ranging from .030”-2”. Typically the openings of welded mesh are measured from center to center of the wire.
- Wire diameters ranging from .020” to .080” in standard configurations. Larger diameter wires are available for custom applications. Wire diameters are measured prior to welding.
- Roll sizes up to 80” wide and custom panel sizes are available. We can manufacture rolls and flat panels in custom sizes to meet your production requirements. Generally, welded mesh is manufactured in rolls when wire diameters are smaller than .080” and in flat panels when wire sizes are over .080”.
We offer a full suite of conversion services including:
- Precision slitting
- Flush cut edges
- Random cut edges
- Annealing
- Precision shearing
