Compressive characteristics of a wire-woven cellular metal

► A new wire-woven cellular metal named WBD is introduced. ► Geometry and mechanical properties under compression of WBD are presented. ► Density and strength of WBD are about twice as high as those of WBK. ► WBDs play an important role to cover the gap between the woven textiles and WBK family. ► WBD is good for heavy duty application, catalyst support and heat transfer medium.
