Crimping is a method used to create waves on any ductile material that has a straight surface such as steel or stainless steel alloys. Ductility aids the manufacturer in getting a distinct shape for a Crimped Wire Mesh . Used heavily in the mining industry, the material used to manufacture them is usually very durable. And since vibrations are a result of mining operations the alloys need to be able to withstand high levels of shock and vibrations. There are various methods used by Crimped Wire Mesh Manufacturers including double crimping, intermediate, flat top as well as lock crimping. While the most common use of the Stainless Steel Crimped Wire Mesh is in the field of mining, the other applications of the mesh include its use as a protective fence for stairs or equipment. Most applications require structures that have stability in order to successfully complete a run of the application. Amongst the four crimp types, the most stable variety is the Lock Crimp Wire Mesh because the structure of the crimp is what gives it stability because on each side of the raised wire there is a wire that is pressed against it creating a stable lock structure.
