Stainless Steel Wire Corrosion Data   800.440.6374     Phone 360.835.7507    sales@wovenwire.com     The tables provide information based on laboratory tests of the more popular Stainless Steel grades utilized in wire cloth weaving. Results should only be considered as a guide to the potential service life of woven wire cloth screens. Secondary fabrication such as welding, soldering, brazing or heat treat processes may have adverse effects on screen life.   Indications A Recommended A* Recommended, pitting may result under certain conditions. B Subject to light chemical attack, use with care. B* Subject to light chemical attack, pitting may result under certain conditions. C Material was chemically attacked, not recommended.
