A
round braid is a
metal mesh consisting of metallic wire elements, also known as
strands, which cross over each other. The result is a very flexible electrical conductor that can be designed in various shapes. This
mesh of metal remains stable under static or dynamic load and ensures a firm cohesion, which distinguishes it from conventional cables with stranded wires or strands. Commonly used materials are copper, tinned copper, nickel-plated copper, stainless steel mesh and aluminum. Galvanized steel, brass, nickel and precious metals such as silver and gold are also used.
Metal mesh for construction and
metal mesh is used for reinforcement and in various
wire mesh applications, while
wire mesh for EMI shielding and
metal mesh for architecture are other important uses.
