1/2inch Diamond Opening 18 Gauge 316/L Stainless material raised expanded

raised expanded Introduction: 

Raised Expanded Metal goes through a process of slitting and stretching metal sheet to form the standard or regular style of expanded metal. The expanded metal now has strands and intersecting strands called bonds forming a sharp angle to the original plane of the solid sheet. This process creates the unique pattern and allows a single sheet of metal to be processed into several sheets of expandable metal.

raised expanded Specification:

Standard (Raised) Stainless Expanded Metal Sheet

raised expanded Classification: 

Expanded metal is defined by Type, Class and Grade per ASTM F1267. Type and Class are required when specifying and ordering.

Type I—Expanded

Type II—Expanded and flattened

Class 1—Uncoated.

Class 2—Hot-dip zinc-coated (galvanized).

Class 3—Corrosion-resisting steel.

Grade A—0.0025 in. (0.06 mm) minimum coating thickness.

Grade B—0.0012 in. (0.03 mm) minimum coating thickness.

The illustration to the right shows that the strands and bonds form a sharp angle to the original plane of the solid sheet.

Sheets are expanded in the regular form.
