NICKEL MESH FAQ
NHGT possesses an individual nickel mesh research and development institute to assure our nickel mesh is manufactured with perfection and precision.
For many years, NHGT has been developing and producing quality nickel mesh screens to meet the needs of different industries. The green hydrogen production field is especially among them. In continuing the further study of the structural and morphological effect of nickel mesh on hydrogen evolution reaction, we work closely with other reputable research and development centers throughout the world.
Nickel mesh or nickel wire mesh is a kind of fine metal mesh that is woven from nickel wires or stretched from a nickel sheet or coil. Both nickel wire and nickel sheet contain high-purity nickel content, usually at 99.5% or even over 99.9% depending on customer requirements. Nickel mesh is usually used as filter media and fuel cell electrode due to its corrosion-resistant and electric conductive feature.
Generally, nickel mesh can be divided into two types mainly based on the production method: woven nickel wire mesh (nickel knitted wire mesh/ nickel wire cloth) and expanded nickel mesh. Woven nickel mesh is produced from nickel wires with high-purity nickel wires by weave machines. Expanded nickel mesh is slit and stretched from a nickel sheet or coil.
Common woven methods for nickel wire mesh include plain weave, twill weave, and Dutch weave.
Plain weave is the most common also the simplest type of all woven fabric structure in which the weft alternates over and under the warp. Twill weave is also a common method in which filling threads pass over one and under two or more warp threads to give an appearance of diagonal lines. The wire in Dutch weave is interwoven but the warp wires are thicker than the shute wires. They are arranged very close together to form a zero-mesh structure.
