Shaped Knitted Wire Mesh uses the natural resiliency of the material to maintain a desired shape in your application.
Because each loop acts as a small spring when subjected to tensile or compressive stress, knitted metal has an inherent resiliency. If it’s not distorted beyond its yield point, the material will resume its original shape when the stress is removed. Even when it’s compressed into a special shape, a high degree of resiliency is retained.
Varying the knitted structure, wire diameter, wire material and forming pressure used to create the part can control this characteristic.
