Welded Wire Mesh
Manufacturing process
Wire mesh is prefabricated to rectangular or square steel mesh consisting of series of parallel, longitudinal, cold-worked high-yield steel wires welded at regular intervals to transverse wires.
Wire mesh is manufactured on automatic welding machines, ensuring uniform spacing of wires and consistent cross-sectional areas. The welding is accomplished by an electronically controlled electrical process employing the principle of fusion combined with pressure, which actually fuses the intersecting wires into homogeneous section without loss of strength. The welds in plain cold-worked.
Wires contribute to the bonding and anchorage values in concrete.
MATERIALS
- The wires used in the fabric are cold drawn from mild steel wire rods and are manufactured conforming to IS;432-PTII/ 1982.
