Expanded Metal is sheet metal that has been slit and expanded up to ten times its original width. The formation of the diamond-shaped pattern adds to the strength and rigidity of the sheet. This material offers savings in weight and metal, free passage of light and air, and a decorative or ornamental effect.
Expanded Metal is our most economical product line. It can be adapted for use in almost any application and comes in a wide range of styles and materials.
It is widely used in the core of filter, medicine, filtering, breed, battery, mechanical protecting, making the crafts, the meshes for the high-grade sound box, decorate, the seating for children, making basket, etc.

Specifications
- thickness
- The thickness of expanded metal is the thickness of the iron panel before punched into expanded metal. Usually, the thickness will become 0.1-0.3mm smaller after it's punched into expanded metal. When ordering, customers can just porvide the thickness after punching.
- Strand width
- The width of the Strand. It is quite different when the specifications are different. It is a main specification data to describe a expanded metal.
- Material:
- The expanded metal can be made from a wide range of iron metal sheets, example: Mild steel sheet,Galvanized sheets, Stainless steel sheet, Inconel DS (37% Nickel,18% Chrome), Aluminium sheet, Titanium sheet, Copper and Brass sheet, Monel sheet, etc.
- SWD
- short way distance, from center of knuckle to center of knuckle. It's a main data to describe the mesh size
- LWD
- long way distance, from center of knuckle to center of knuckle. It's a main data to describe the mesh size
Features
- Economical
- To punching a metal sheet into expanded metal is the most simple and economic process in making wire mesh. The mesh will be 3 to 10 times larger than the panel it self, thus saves more cost.
- One-piece construction
- Each piece of the expanded metal is one-piece construction, quite different from other kinds of mesh that made from iron wires. This feature make the mesh a unique work sheet that more rigid and strong.
- Available in many styles and materi
- Excellent weight-to-strength ratio
- Easy cutting and shearing
