Spiral braid

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Spiral braiding is a material in which wires are bent and looped into one another. There are different forms of spiral braid. Spiral braids are also known as wide spiral braid belts or round and flat wire link belts.

Spiral braids are usually made of metal, stainless steel, galvanized steel or aluminum.

properties

In addition to being used in industry, spiral meshes are also increasingly being used in architecture and design, both indoors and outdoors.

Certain stainless steel meshes can be produced seamlessly up to a width of 8000 mm and practically unlimited lengths.

The following information on the mesh size is used to describe a spiral mesh: mesh length, mesh width, spiral wire thickness, cross wire thickness. With the spiral braids produced today, the mesh size can be produced from approx. 5 mm to 60 mm.

Manufacturing

The wires are bent individually beforehand and brought into a spiral shape. then these individual wires are woven into each other to create the spiral mesh. This weaving mechanism is fully automated. After this process, the ends are welded or bent together.
