Metex all metal mesh gasketing is a versatile material used in a wide variety of
applications where:
- High attenuation is required
- Ease of installation or field replacement is required
- Extremes in temperature or atmospheric conditions are encountered
Metex mesh gaskets
have been proven in aerospace, avionics, automotive and electronics
systems, solving the most demanding shielding and sealing problems.
Mesh gaskets can be made from any ductile material that can be drawn to
form a wire. Wire diameters are typically in a range of .0035" to .011", with
other diameters available for specific applications.
The most common materials include:
- Monel—An alloy of nickel and copper with good electrical performance and
excellent corrosion resistance.
- Tin-plated, copper-clad steel—SnCuFe is a 1005-1010 steel wire, with a
copper outer cladding and a tin-plated exterior. This material has excellent
electrical properties and provides EM attenuation over a wide range of frequencies.
- Aluminum—Alloy 5056 wire provides good electrical performance, is lightweight
and is also useful in applications where galvanic corrosion is a concern.
- Stainless Steel—Good electrical performance. This material is often used for
its mechanical characteristics and corrosion resistance.
All-metal mesh gaskets are typically installed using mechanical fasteners,
press fit into a groove or return flange on a sheet metal enclosure, or bonded in
place using a conductive adhesive.
