Default Joining aluminum to aluminum mesh

As far as thickness, I think that's a problem. I want to use regular
commercial aluminum foil, so 0.2 mm thickness. The diameter of the
mesh will be 3", the foil will extend past that a few inches. If it
can be made in the thousands, that would be ideal, and preferably at a
low cost. Non-corrosive metals other than aluminum would be fine as
well, if the process is easier.

Thanks again

I would seriously consider using slightly thicker aluminum foil. Then
form and pierce the foil to form the mesh part. If you are making
thousands it would be much quicker than using any sort of adhesive ,
welding, or soldering.
