Expanded metal can be processed from a variety of metal materials, typically aluminum, carbon steel, stainless, brass, nickel and titanium sheet, also precious metals like silver and gold. Openings in the shape of diamond, hexagonal or special decorative shape.
Benefits of Expanded Mesh Compared with Welded Mesh or Woven Wire: Supplied in a variety of materials and finishes, expanded metal mesh has excellent corrosion resistance when suitably coated. As a one-unit piece sheet mesh, expanded metal are stronger than welded or woven mesh products. The uncut knuckles support heavy weight and withstand stress better than jointed welds or woven mesh materials.
Forms and Coatings: Expanded metal can be supplied in a variety of finishes, thickness, raised or flattened. Flattened expanded sheet is smoother and does not indent soft materials if this is a consideration but is not as strong as the more robust raised mesh. Powder coating in your choice of color will enhance its aesthetic appearance and add to its corrosion resistance as would plastic coating.
Use: Used with concrete in buildings and construction, maintenance of equipments, making of arts and crafts, covering screen for first class sound case. Also fencing for super highway, studio, highway. Heavy expanded metal can be used as step mesh of oil tanks, working platform, corridor and walking road for heavy model equipment, boiler, petroleum and mine well, automobile vehicles, big ships. Also serve as reinforcing bar in construction, railway and bridges.
