321 stainless steel wire mesh
321 stainless steel wire mesh is similar to the basic 304 stainless steel alloy, but includes the addition of titanium for improved oxidation and general corrosion resistance. Compared to 304L, 321 stainless steel has both higher creep strength and stress rupture capabilities, and similarly possesses good low-temperature toughness.
