Engineering Wire Mesh Components

Knitted mesh has several properties that give it a unique ability to absorb energy. The result is the material ideal for use in engineering wire mesh components, able to reduce vibration, attenuate sound and dissipate heat.

In the knitting process, wire loops are created that act like tiny springs. It is these springs that return to their original shape after being subjected to compression. The loops are also free to move in several directions, allowing the knitted material to have natural resilience and to vibrate when sound energy hits the knitted wires. When vibrating, the wires convert sound energy into thermal energy and, in doing so, create a sound-dampening effect.

Compressing the knitted wire mesh in a die creates an element that has a tortuous air path with intricate passages that also attenuate sound by absorption.

The above features enable the knitted wire mesh, in a variety of forms, to reduce vibration, attenuate sound or dissipate heat. In some cases, all of these functions can be achieved in the same application. Commonly, the engineering wire mesh components such as the knitted wire mesh heat shield, muffler, anti-vibration components have applications in aerospace, marine and air tool industries.
