You have made the lasting decision to use Stainless Steel Wire & Mesh for your application, and you now need to ensure that you make the smart decision to secure it using the right product.
When selecting the Fixture & Fitting to ensure long asset life, you need to ensure that you avoid using different materials. Different or “Dissimilar” materials should be avoided as there is a potential these will impact on the mechanical integrity of your asset.
Using Stainless Steel with carbon steel in wet a environment may result in a phenomena called “Galvanic Corrosion”, where the carbons steel will corrode due to being physically (& electrically) connected to the Stainless steel due to its position in the galvanic series of metals.
At SSWM we carry a range of fixtures and fixings that are compatible with our products. Research has shown that combining 304 and 316 products and fixings will not increase the corrosion rate due to the galvanic series of metals. Where products are exposed to the environment then the product and fixing should be compatible to avoid general corrosion.

We’ve been supporting local manufacturing and infrastructure projects for over 20 years.
I started dealing with SSWM in 2019 and have always found them to be informative, trusting and dependable suppliers. Many times Sam has gone out of his way to make sure we receive the product on time and have found SSWM’s attitude professional and always wanting to help out.
Remarkable company to deal with. Order updates were excellent, and everything went as planned from the start. The team was cheerful and knowledgeable, and they had the products we needed. Supply lead times exceeded expectations. Highly recommended.
We have been dealing with SSWM for over 9 years. SSWM stock holding is always reliable and ready for us to pick up that day! We have a great strategic relationship and value the referrals that we receive from SSWM.
We are a family business and we love dealing with another family business- SSWM. Andrew Greer likes to tell me “we can dance on our feet” and it’s very true SSWM are incredibly responsive, with a great range and are very customer focused.
We recently renovated a rural property and installed Stainless Steel Bushfire Mesh. The SSWM team were a pleasure to deal with helpful and efficient. We now have a fantastic product installed and I would have no hesitations in recommending SSWM.
