Non Ferrous Metal Expanded Mesh

Expanded Standard

Standard Expanded Metal is one of the most economical and versatile products available. Expanded Metal is offered in various materials, gauges, and diamond sizes.

Features

  • Lightweight
  • Economical
  • Can be bent or formed in any direction
  • U-edging for finished edges
Non Ferrous Metal Expanded Mesh Expanded Metal is made from sheets of solid metal that are uniformly slit and stretched to create diamond-shaped openings. As expanded metal is made, each row of diamond-shaped opening is offset from the next. This product is called standard expanded metal. The sheet can be rolled to produce flattened expanded metal.
Flattened Expanded Metal is standerd Expanded Metal that has been rolled through a flattening machine in the expanding
process.

Features

  • Lightweight
  • Economical
  • Can be bent or formed in any direction
  • U-edging for finished edges


Process Variations for Specific Expanded Metal

Variable Overall Thickness

Non Ferrous Metal Expanded MeshAfter the material is expanded, the overall thickness of the mesh is greater than the original metal thickness. The final mesh thickness can be controlled to meet your needs. Each configuration has practical range of overall thickness.

Flattened

The flattened process reduces material thickness and creates a smoother mesh surface that's similar to perforated metal. Pocket depth is also reduced or eliminated. The flattening process increases material coverage while reducing the size of the open mesh area.


Pulled

Pulling the mesh after expanding can result in several desirable features. Pulling changes the shape of the opening. It increases the overall thickness in most configurations, and can increase the stiffness or tensile strength. Pulled material creates a deeper pocket, to accept more filler or coating, and adds longitudinal strength in some configurations.

Selvage Edged

Selvaging is a perfect example of our response to customer request. Easier material handling, increased safety and ease of use were all requests which selvaging accomplished by eliminating the normally rough edge. Many engineers also find that the selvage edge can be soldered or welded more easily.
