Automotive Wire Mesh Components
Automotive wire mesh components such as knitted wire mesh muffler, heat shield,anti-vibrating components are highly effective absorbers of noise, heat andvibration energy. Knitted wire mesh has several properties that give it aunique ability to absorb energy. The result is the knitted wire mesh as amaterial ideal for use in many applications, able to reduce vibration,attenuate sound and dissipate heat.
In the knitting process, wire loops are created that act like tiny springs. Itis these springs that return to their original shape after being subjected tocompression. The loops are also free to move in several directions, allowingthe knitted material to have natural resilience and to vibrate when soundenergy hits the knitted wires. When vibrating, the wires convert sound energyinto thermal energy and, in doing so, create a sound-dampening effect.
Compressing knitted wire mesh in a die creates an element that has a tortuousair path with intricate passages that also attenuate sound by absorption. This sound attenuation material is frequentlyused in applications where a less resilient material would fail.
The above features enable the knitted material, in a variety of forms, toreduce vibration, attenuate sound or dissipate heat. In some cases, all ofthese functions can be achieved in the same application. Commonly, the automotivewire mesh components have applications in automotive exhaust, aerospace, marineand air tool industries, where thermal, vibration and sound attenuationinsulation needs to be light weight, efficient and compact.
