Expanded metal mesh is also called pulled plate wire 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.
Features and benefits of expanded metal mesh:
1. The mesh is formed from a single piece of metal
2. The process is not wasteful of material
3. Higher strength-to-weight ratio than sheet metal
4. Anti-slip surface
5. Excludes and retains simultaneously
6. Premium reinforcement properties
7. Practical and effective screening
8. High efficient conductor
9. Super corrosion resistance
Expanded metal mesh has a wide range of uses, graceful shapes , strong processing capability. A major advantage of expanded is that the mesh is formed from a single piece of material and the process is not wasteful and therefore cost effective.
Main use: metal surface treatment and after processing, are widely used in large venues, both inside and outside decorative, aerospace, petroleum, chemical industry, metallurgy, medicine, paper making, filtration, breeding, packing, mechanical facilities, protection, handicraft manufacturing, high-grade speaker grille, childrenâ??s seat, baskets, basket, highway protection, and heavy machinery, boilers, oil mines, locomotives, tonner steamship, work platform, staircase, walkway. Also can be used for construction, highway and bridge as reinforced use.
The term of expanded metal mesh:
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.
Strand and Bond Expanded metal is composed of strands and bonds. Strands form the sides of the expanded metal openings. Bonds are where the strands intersect. In other words, the bond is where each diamond shaped opening is connected with the next opening.
Thickness is the measurement from the top surface to bottom surface of the expanded metal piece.
Expanded metal Roll: that the specific length and width of the wound into the roll of steel mesh.
Expanded metal sheetï¼? The expanded metal that show specific length and width.
Copper Expanded Metal Mesh
Copper Expanded Metal Mesh is a type of mesh made from high-quality copper sheets through a precise shearing and stretching process. The result is a unique mesh structure, typically with diamond or hexagonal openings. This mesh retains the excellent electrical and thermal conductivity of copper while also featuring superior corrosion resistance and an attractive appearance. Copper expanded matel mesh is widely used in architectural decoration, filtration, electromagnetic shielding, and safety applications. Its stable structure and beautiful metallic sheen make it both functional and highly decorative.
1. High-Purity Copper Material: Made from high-quality copper sheet, providing excellent corrosion resistance, especially suitable for humid or acidic environments.
2. Unique Mesh Structure: The shearing and expansion process creates diamond or hexagonal openings, which give the mesh high strength and stability, ideal for a wide range of load-bearing and protective applications.
3. Excellent Electrical and Thermal Conductivity: The mesh retains the excellent electrical and thermal properties of copper, making it suitable for electromagnetic shielding and conductive connections.
4. High Strength and Durability: The expanded copper sheet is lightweight yet strong, providing a stable structure that is suitable for long-term use in heavy-duty or harsh environments.
5.Strong Decorative Appeal: The golden color and unique mesh pattern make copper expanded mesh popular in decorative applications, providing aesthetic value along with structural protection.
Expanded Metal can serve as a kind of substitute for perforated metal materials and it find most uses as fences,windows decoration,ventilation devices,shelves,racks,cages and some decoration purposes.
Standard expanded metal provides a high strength to weight ratio,and is often used to protect machines or people,by stopping a specific size material from entering as a specific area.All Metals such as Stainless Steel Alloys,Aluminum,Titanium,Steel,Cooper,can all be expanded into rhombic opending for various uses including enclosures,support,protection,decoration or filtration.
