Expanded Metal
Expanded metal refers to a type of sheet metal that has been cut and stretched into a mesh-like pattern, often forming diamond or hexagonal shapes. This process creates a lightweight, durable material with unique structural and aesthetic properties.
How Expanded Metal Is Made
Metal Sheet: A flat sheet of metal is the starting material (commonly steel, aluminum, stainless steel, or other alloys).
Slitting and Stretching: A specialized machine simultaneously cuts slits into the sheet and stretches it, creating an interconnected mesh of openings.
Finishing: The material may undergo additional processes such as flattening, galvanizing, or coating for specific applications.
Key Features of Expanded Metal
Types of Expanded Metal
Standard Expanded Metal:
Flattened Expanded Metal:
Decorative Expanded Metal: Features unique patterns for architectural or artistic uses.
Micro-Expanded Metal: Fine mesh with small openings, often used in filtration or shielding applications.
Advantages
If you’re considering using expanded metal for a project, it can be tailored to meet specific load, ventilation, or design requirements. Let me know if you’d like detailed specs or advice on material selection!
