A beginner’s guide to steel: welded mesh

What is welded mesh?

Welded wire mesh uses welding to bind rows and columns of wire together at each individual intersection.

In this process, the operator draws the wires down to the correct diameter, and then feeds them through a machine that welds the rows together simultaneously.

They then feed the machine again for each intersection of wires. When the machine has welded the required length, it then shears the mesh into a flat and rigid sheet.

You can buy welded mesh online and hassle-free from Edcon Steel, from our stock of the industry-leading Sefar range of welded mesh.
