3. Manufacturing Process Flow (Step-by-Step Visual Guide)

- Material Control: Only certified SS304/SS316L billets are sourced, ensuring traceability & ISO compliance.
- Wire Drawing: Multi-pass CNC wire-drawing achieves micron-level uniformity for both stainless window screen and heavy duty mesh solutions.
- Mesh Weaving: Automated looms guarantee 100% mesh consistency, meeting GB/T 5330 and ISO 9044 standards.
- Surface Treatment: Optional powder coating or anodizing enhances weathering resistance and complements project aesthetics.
- Inspection: Each batch undergoes tensile, salt spray, dimensional fidelity, and impact resistance testing, fully traceable via digital quality records.
4. Key Technical Advantages
- Superior Durability: Stainless steel window screens withstand up to 700kg impact force and 1,500 hours of salt fog testing (ISO 9227 certified).
- Corrosion & UV Resistance: SS316 screens show negligible performance decay even in marine/chemical environments after 15 years (per Sciencedirect study).
- Safety Compliance: Complies with SCC, ISO 9044, and AS5039 (Australian standard for security screens).
- Low Maintenance/Lifecycle Cost: Extended service life slashes the total cost of ownership versus galvanized or polymer screens.
- High Airflow & Visibility: Mesh up to 18x16/inch delivers more than 68% airflow with fine pest control capabilities.
- Customization: Each steel window screen batch can be tailored by mesh density, cut dimensions, and finish.
