Corrosion Resistance of Stainless Steel Wire Mesh
Stainless Steel is generally resistant to atmospheric corrosion, foodstuffs, sterilizing solutions, dyestuffs, many organic chemicals and a variety of inorganic chemicals.
 
The selection of the most suitable stainless steel grade for a given environmental condition should be given careful consideration.
A     Recommended           A*      Recommended, pitting may result under certain conditions.
 
B    Subject to light chemical attack, use with care. B*    Subject to light chemical attack, pitting may result under certain conditions.
 
C    Material was chemically attacked, not recommended. N    Material not tested, no results available
