Actually wire gauze will burn when heated. I think you may instead be asking "Why will a flame not propagate beyond a wire mesh." But the answer to your question is: "A wire gauze WILL burn under appropriate heat."
A flame screen is a portable or fitted device incorporating one or more corrosion resistant wire-woven fabrics of a very small mesh, which is used for preventing sparks from entering a tank or vent opening or, for a short time, preventing the passage of flame.

There are several places to buy wire mesh depending on it's intended usage. DIY stores like B&Q and Wickes stock wire mesh for building and garden requirements. Amazon and eBay have that too, as well as mesh for kitchen and craft purposes.

That would depend on the wire thickness, and size of mesh.

This depends on the type of wire. This type of fencing should never be used for horse fending because it is dangerous. However, cattle grating works well.
IT helps strengthen the concrete and prevent cracking But please note usually the "welded wire mesh" used in concrete is named reinforcing mesh, its wire is ribbed. And the wire of welded wire mesh in industry usually is plain, it used for fence panel, floor heating system and so on. The following are reinforcing mesh and welded wire mesh link. dingzhenfence.com/product/Welded_Wire_Mesh.html dingzhenfence.com/product/Welded%20Wire%20Mesh

The danger of methane gas (firedamp) being ignited by an open flame in coal mines was much reduced by the development of the flame safety lamp stemming from the work of Dr. William Clanny, George Stephenson and Sir Humphrey Davy. It is Davy who is credited with the true invention of the flame safety lamp in 1816. His idea was to isolate the flame from the flammable gas by means of a wire gauze surrounding the flame. Davy demonstrated that burning gases, on passing through the wire mesh is broken up into tiny streamlets which are so cooled by contact with the metal of the mesh that the flame is extinguished. It was found that the greatest safety could be obtained by a standard mesh formed by 28 steel wires per inch making 784 openings per square inch.
Fiber mesh is the best way to go in my opinion! You save the cost of wire mesh , and installtion! And works better than wire.
