The pre-stressed stainless steel wire mesh (SSWM) –mortar (M) is a pre-stressed laminate structure for structural strengthening and rehabilitation. Pre-stressing the stainless steel wire mesh is the key technology for engineering practice. A jogged anchor is proposed for anchoring large diameter SSWM conveniently. The flexural performances of 5 damaged RC beams strengthened by pre-stressed SSWM-M and one referential RC beam were tested. The experimental results indicates that the large diameter pre-stressed SSWM-M has a better performance in controlling the crack growth, restoring the flexural capacity and stiffness than the small diameter pre-stressed SSWM-M.

A facile method for manufacturing super hydrophobic surfaces is presented using the stainless steel wire mesh as templates. The rough surfaces of polymers including polycarbonate, polypropylene and PMMA are prepared with hot embossing on different specifications of stainless steel wire mesh. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results reveal that the surfaces roughness of the polymers can be controlled by selecting templates. Contact angle measurement shows that the water contact angles(WCA) rise with the increase of surface roughness, especially, the water contact angle on the PC surfaces prepared with specifications of 635mesh screen can reach to 152.3°, alias super hydrophobic surfaces.

The service life of stainless steel wire mesh belts in sintering furnaces is limited, because material deterioration results in wire fracture. A newly developed humidification system establishes a furnace atmosphere that maintains a protective oxide scale on the belt surface throughout the sintering process and at the same time creates an environment that is reducing to the sintered metal compact. This work includes thermodynamic calculations of the furnace atmosphere dew points that satisfy these oxidation / reduction criteria. Scanning Electron Microscopy, combined with Energy-dispersive X-ray Analysis, and mechanical testing methods have been used to compare belts that have undergone the same length of service in a nitrogen-hydrogen atmosphere and in an atmosphere that was modified using the newly developed humidification method. The material examinations have revealed that the new humidification system significantly extends the service life of stainless steel belts.
