In industrial production, there is a lot of waste. However, expanded metal solves the problem well. Because expanded metal is manufactured by slitting and stretching the metal sheet with a die creating different shaped holes in one step, which makes it more economical. Due to formed from a piece of metal, there are no welds or weak points, which make its structure more sounder than other type metals.
Raised expanded metal, also called standard expanded metal or regular expanded metal is a finished product as it comes from the press after having been die cut and expanded. Each sheet that comes off the expander is in standard or regular form with the junctions at the strands and bonds forming a ridge surface. The angles of the diamond strands allow maximum air circulation and distribute load on the metal to supporting frames. It with light weight and strength is an ideal for commercial and industry applications, such as storefront protectors, stairway, warehouse enclosures, lockers, etc.
Flattened expanded metal, undergoes an additional cold rolling process, creating a smoother surface and a finished product that is about 5% lighter than raised expanded metal. It with versatility is key to a virtually limitless variety of applications, such as, air and fluid filters, ventilation systems, partitions, speaker grills, machine and windows.
Expanded Copper Mesh with elegant looking and corrosion and wear resistance is broadly used for guarding of machines, dividers, boilers, crafts of art filters, etc.
Decorative expanded metal mesh with lighter weight and attractive looking is used in facades of large buildings, railings, fencing, interior walls, furniture, etc.
Aluminum expanded metal facade with attractive appearance and light weight is broadly used in concert halls, office buildings, exhibition halls, shopping malls.
Expanded security fence systems include new fence, retrofit chain link fence, retrofit ornamental picket fence, anti-climb panel, below-grade tunneling panel.
Expanded metal dimensions include strand size, overall thickness, SWD /L WD diamond per ft., percent open area, tolerance, nominal weight per CSF.
Expanded metal ordering information shall include Length, width, thickness, weight per square ft. and designation.
Expanded metal materials have many types, such as galvanized, aluminum, copper, low carbon steel, nickel and silver expanded metal types. The expanded metal materials can be available.
