What materials are high temperature mesh belts made of?

What materials are used for high temperature mesh belts? Are there other alternatives to the materials currently used that can reduce costs and improve efficiency? These questions are often raised by customers during after-sales visits. This article will discuss the common materials of high temperature mesh belts, as well as their corresponding physical properties, differences between them, and applicability.

1.Common materials for high temperature mesh belts

Common materials for high temperature mesh belts are sorted by price from low to high. The main materials provided are 304, 316L, 309, 310S, 314, 2035 and 2080.

304: high strength, wear resistance, good gloss; used for cleaning machines, heat treatment hoist belts, drying machine belts, Great Wall belts

316: High temperature resistance of 800 degrees, contains molybdenum, excellent corrosion resistance, 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

316L: High temperature resistance of 800-1575 degrees, low carbon content, corrosion resistance, rust prevention; commonly used in aluminum brazing furnace mesh belts, drying machine mesh belts, tempering furnace mesh belts, annealing furnace mesh belts

309: High temperature resistance of 900 degrees, containing chromium, nickel and molybdenum elements, so it is corrosion-resistant, acid-resistant, 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, chemical industry, metallurgy and other industries

310s: can withstand high temperature of 900 degrees, anti-oxidation, anti-corrosion, acid and alkali resistance; used in heat treatment industry, sintering industry, solar photovoltaic, etc.

314: It can withstand high temperatures above 1000 degrees, is anti-oxidant and anti-corrosion; it is mostly used in heat treatment, powder metallurgy, copper brazing, solar photovoltaic and other industries

2035: High temperature resistance of 750 degrees, high chromium and nickel content, good oxidation resistance, high strength, non-magnetic, good corrosion resistance; commonly used in the 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 and manufacturing 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.

2. Comparison between SUS314 and 310S

•  The carbon and copper content of 314 is relatively low, which improves corrosion resistance and reduces impurities in the material;
•  314 has more silicon and manganese elements than 310s, and has better high temperature resistance and tensile strength;
•  The silicon content of 310s is lower, and the toughness is better

3.The difference between 316 and 316L

• 316 has a higher carbon content, excellent tensile strength, and high strength, but it is easy to cause intergranular corrosion
• 316L has a lower strength than 316 and is easier to process
• The welded section of 316 stainless steel requires post-weld annealing, while 316L stainless steel does not require it
• 316L has stronger corrosion resistance and better anti-rust and anti-corrosion performance
