Among the materials currently used, are there any alternative options that can reduce costs and increase efficiency? These questions are often mentioned by customers during after-sales visits. In this article, Jiaoyang Mesh Belt will share with you the common high-temperature mesh belt materials, as well as the corresponding physical properties, differences between each other, applicability, etc.

Jiaoyang Mesh Belt mainly provides materials such as stainless steel 304, stainless steel 316L, stainless steel 309, stainless steel 310S, stainless steel 314, 2035 and 2080.
Stainless steel 304: high strength, wear resistance, good gloss; used for cleaning machines, heat treatment hoist mesh belts, dryer mesh belts, and Great Wall mesh belts.
Stainless steel 316: resistant to high temperature of 800 degrees, contains molybdenum, has excellent corrosion resistance and strong antioxidant ability; used in marine engineering, chemical, pharmaceutical, food processing, papermaking, dye and other industries; commonly used in the production of Great Wall mesh belts
Stainless steel 316L: resistant to high temperature of 800-1575 degrees, low carbon content, corrosion resistance and rust prevention; commonly used in aluminum brazing furnace mesh belts, drying machine mesh belts, tempering furnace mesh belts, annealing furnace mesh belts
Stainless steel 309: resistant to high temperature of 900 degrees, contains chromium, nickel and molybdenum elements, so it is corrosion-resistant, acid and alkali-resistant, high strength, good toughness, and cost-effective; suitable for the production of silicon steel mesh belts in the heat treatment industry; suitable for boilers, chemicals, metallurgy and other industries
Stainless steel 310s: resistant to high temperature of 900 degrees, anti-oxidation, anti- Corrosion, acid and alkali resistance; used in heat treatment industry, sintering industry, solar photovoltaic, etc.
Stainless steel 314: can withstand high temperatures above 1000 degrees, anti-oxidation and anti-corrosion; mostly used in heat treatment, powder metallurgy, copper brazing, solar photovoltaic and other industries
2035: resistant to high temperatures of 750 degrees, high chromium and nickel content, good anti-oxidation performance, high strength, non-magnetic, and good corrosion resistance; commonly used in electric heating industry
2080: contains 20% chromium and 80% nickel, resistant to high temperatures of 1200 degrees, anti-corrosion, anti-oxidation, and low resistivity; mostly used in solar photovoltaic mesh belts; suitable for the production of semiconductors, electric heating elements, chemical equipment, medical equipment, food industry, household appliances, aerospace fields, etc.; due to the high nickel content, the price is relatively high.
Take stainless steel 316LCu as an example, it contains copper elements in particular and has good corrosion resistance. It is used in the production of fiber dryer mesh belts in the chemical fiber industry and roasting furnace mesh belts in the catalyst industry.

Comparison between 314 and 310S
1️⃣314 has relatively low carbon and copper content, which improves corrosion resistance and reduces impurities in the material.
2️⃣314 has more silicon and manganese than 310s, and has better high temperature resistance and tensile strength.
3️⃣310s has a lower silicon content and better toughness.

Difference between 316 and 316L
1️⃣316 has a higher carbon content, excellent tensile resistance, and high strength, but it is easy to cause intergranular corrosion.
2️⃣316L has a lower strength than 316 and is easy to process.
3️⃣The welded section of 316 stainless steel needs to be annealed after welding, while 316L stainless steel does not.
4️⃣316L has stronger corrosion resistance and better anti-rust and anti-corrosion performance.

The difference between 316 and 304
1️⃣316 has more molybdenum and nickel elements than 304, and has better corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance and high temperature resistance.
2️⃣316 price is higher than 304
