SS Expanded Metal - Corrosion Resistance, good strength
Stainless steel expanded metal is made of stainless steel metal sheet, through die slitting and stretching to form uniform diamond shaped openings. In the manufacturing process, no material is lost, and it offers savings in weight, as well as free passage of light, liquid, sound and air. Stainless steel expanded metal is more rigid than an equal weight of solid steel plate or wire mesh, making it popular in architectural and commercial areas. It is worth mentioning that 18 gauge (0.05" thick) 304 stainless steel and 316 L stainless steel are materials that commonly used. But there is difference between them, so choose suitable material for your needs, and the following information will help you learn more about stainless steel expanded metal.
Feature
Stainless steel 304 for anti-rusting and heat resistance.
Stainless steel 316 has more corrosion resistance.
Easy to be welded and cut for your ideal form.
Resistant to high temperature and food grade stainless steel especially designed for BBQ grill.
High mechanical strength for many applications that need large load bearing.
Specification
Product description:
Stainless steel expanded metal is a finished product came from pressing after having been expanded. Each sheet is expanded in the regular form and then passed through a cold rolled reducing mill. In this process the length of the sheet is elongated, but the width of the sheet remains. The sheet is then sent through a leveler to maintain its flatness. Stainless steel expanded metal is one of the most practical and economical metal to assure strength and safety.
The open construction of expanded metal allows for varied amounts of light, water, sound, air and debris to pass through it, improving visibility, safety and ventilation. Although this particular alloy may have a higher initial cost, stainless steel products often outlast alternative metalwork.
As it is a solid piece of metal, it is also more stable and has no welds, joints or seams to wear and work loose over time. To form this complete interlinking grid, stainless steel sheets or plates are fed into an automated metal expansion machine. The thickness, length and width of these stock forms should be carefully considered with regards to the final product as thickness will be significantly reduced during the expansion process.
Types of opening:
1, standard rhombic shaped
2, heavy type (tortoise-shaped)
3, flattened type
4, micron opening
5, special types
Features of stainless steel expanded metal:
Economical
Durable
Extremely versatile
Easy to install
Low resistance to wind loads
Easily cut to fit
Many material options
Application:
Stainless steel expanded metal can be used for screening, filtration, ventilation, security, protection fences, screens for window of cars, architectural and decorative purposes, which is lightweight and easy to fabricate and form. With its slip-resistant properties and it is also the ideal solution for existing slippery flooring in industries such as food processing.
Long way of mesh: 12.5-200mm
Short way of mesh: 5-80mm
Thickness: 0.5-8mm
Stand width: 0.5mm-10mm
Expanded metal mesh at length from 1m-30m and width from 600-2400mm.
Stainless Steel Strip
The properties of stainless steel are corrosion resistance, high ductility, attractive appearance and low maintenance.
Stainless steel contains chromium which provides the properties of corrosion resistance at high temperatures. Stainless steel can withstand corrosive or chemical environments due to its smooth surface. Stainless steel products are safe for long-term use with excellent resistance of corrosion fatigue.

Stainless steel tube is a hollow long strip steel made of stainless-steel material. Because of its excellent corrosion resistance, it is mainly widely used in petroleum, chemical, medical, food, light industry, mechanical instruments and other industrial transportation pipelines and mechanical structural components. In addition, when the bending and torsion strength are the same, the weight is light, so it is also widely used in manufacturing mechanical parts and engineering structures, but also commonly used in the field of furniture decoration.
Stainless steel pipe is divided into seamless pipe and welding pipe according to the production mode, seamless steel pipe can be divided into hot rolling pipe, cold rolling pipe, cold pulling pipe and extrusion pipe, etc., cold pulling and cold rolling is the secondary processing of steel pipe; welding pipe is divided into straight welding pipe and spiral welding pipe.
Stainless steel pipes can be divided into round tubes and different tubes according to the cross-sectional shape. The form tubes have rectangular tubes, rhomboid tubes, ellipse tubes, hexagonal tubes, octagonal tubes and various cross-sectional asymmetric tubes.
It can be divided into Austenitic Stainless Steel Tube Ferritic Stainless Steel Tube Martensitic Stainless Steel Tube and Duplex Stainless Steel Tube by the type of stainless steel.
