Stretched Metal Mesh Galvanized Expanded Metal Mesh Expanded Metal Grating Expanded Mesh Screen

Product Description:

Expanded metal mesh is also called pulled plate wire mesh, stretched metal mesh. A rigid piece of metal that has been slit and drawn into an open mesh pattern in a single operation. It is stronger, lighter in weight and more rigid than the original base metal.

Expanded metal mesh material are carbon steel plate, stainless steel, galvanized steel, aluminum, aluminum foil, lead, nickel plate, titanium, aluminum-magnesium alloy panels. Conventional mesh is formed in a diamond pattern. It has other pattern of hexagonal, round, triangle, scale-like opening.

SWD (Short Way of the Diamond) is the distance from the middle of the bond on one side to the middle of the bond on the opposite side.
LWD (Long Way of the Diamond) is the distance across the largest dimension of the diamond measured halfway between the diamonds.
SWO (Short Way of the Opening) is the width of the opening of the shortest side of the diamond. SWO does not include the strand width, where SWD (Short Way of the Diamond) does.
LWO (Long Way of the Opening) is the length of the opening of the longest side of the diamond. LWO does not include the strand width, where LWD (Long Way of the Diamond) does.

StrandExpanded metal is composed of strands and bonds. Strands form the sides of the expanded metal openings. .
Thickness is the measurement from the top surface to bottom surface of the expanded metal piece.

Expanded metal is produced by shearing and stretching a metal plate, sheet or coil in a metal press. The stretching leaves diamond-shaped openings surrounded by interlinked bars of metal. These openings are of uniform size and regularity. The mesh is either cut into sheets or wound into coils.

Features and benefits of expanded metal mesh:

• The mesh is formed from a single piece of plate
• The process is not wasteful of material
• Higher strength-to-weight ratio than sheet metal
• Anti-slip surface
• Excludes and retains simultaneously
• Premium reinforcement properties
• Practical and effective screening
• High efficient conductor
• Super corrosion resistance

Applications:

Expanded metal is frequently used to make fences, walkways, and grates, as the material is very durable and strong, unlike lighter and less expensive wire mesh.

Safety:

Freshly-cut expanded metal has a large number of exposed sharp edges, requiring caution and protective clothing, such as leather gloves and aprons to prevent skin abrasions and cuts.
