Filter for airbags

Advantages

  • Filtration (avoid “smoke and dust” or fragmented particles in the bag)
  • Cooling (cool down the hot gasses + smother the flame during combustion)
  • Airflow (distribute the air when the air bag goes off)
  • Sealing and resist heat shock (mesh does not melt due to high heat)

Fine wires mesh wire.

It can vary from woven, knitted, rolled, sintered or welded wire meshes.

Fine galvanized, black annealed low carbon or stainless steel.

Technological features

Applications

  • Automotive
  • Steering system
  • Air bag inflators and filters wire mesh
  • Welded wire meshes are used to keep things together and give some mechanical support
  • Knitted steel wire meshes are especially meant to cool the hot gasses. Their filtering capacity is rather small
  • Woven (square weaving) wire meshes are mainly used to filter particles out of the produced gasses or to store the combustion pellets in the combustion chamber
  • Their mass also helps to cool the hot gasses
