Advantages of metal mesh in aerospace

Woven metal mesh offers significant advantages for applications in the aerospace sector. The material has a high strength-to-weight ratio, making it ideal for use in aircraft and spacecraft where weight reduction is crucial. At the same time, metal mesh is known for its extreme reliability under harsh conditions. It continues to function stably under strong vibrations and large temperature fluctuations, such as those encountered in aerospace operations. In addition, the material retains its dimensional stability, making it suitable for critical applications in, for example, engines, test facilities, and ground systems. The flexibility of the weaving process also gives woven mesh a great deal of design freedom, allowing engineers to integrate it into innovative systems for both functional and aesthetic applications.

Applications and products

Innovative applications in aerospace

Protection in engine and intake systems: Woven mesh increases the reliability of aviation systems by serving as protective mesh in engines and intake systems.
Micrometeoroid and debris protection: Woven mesh is used in spacecraft to block micrometeoroids and debris, thereby maintaining the integrity of the ship.
Gas and liquid management in zero-gravity environments: Plays a key role in managing gases and liquids in aerospace applications, especially in zero-gravity systems.
Multifunctional layers: Woven mesh is increasingly used for multifunctional layers that filter, reinforce, and shield in a single integrated system.

Product possibilities, but not limited to:

Woven mesh:

Lightning strike reduction: Aluminum mesh is placed in the outer layer of the fuselage and wings to reduce lightning strikes.
EMI protection: It acts as an EMI shield to protect sensitive electronics from external electromagnetic radiation.
Sound insulation and ventilation: Application in cabin and air handling systems for improved operational efficiency and comfort on board.

Welded mesh:

Air intake protection: Woven mesh protects air intakes from dirt, ice, and small objects, preventing clogging and operational risks, especially in engines and intake systems.
