Transportation Industry Galvanized Expanded Metal Mesh Iron Wire Net

Expanded Metal Mesh is formed in an expanding press. The basic metal is simultaneously slit and cold-formed, which expands the slits into diamond shaped openings of uniform size and regularity. Expanded metal mesh is a form of metal stock made by shearing a metal plate in a press, so that the metal stretches, leaving diamond-shaped voids surrounded by interlinked bars of the metal. The most common method of manufacture is to simultaneously slit and stretch the material with one motion.

Expanded Metals are made from sheets of solid metals that are slit and stretched with each stroke of the upper die thus forming a raised diamond pattern.

This pattern is called regular or standard.The pattern varies by the gauge and type of material, and the size of the diamond.The sheets of Expanded Metal can also be flattened.
