Expanded Metal

Expanded Metal Production, Patterns, and Material Options
Huansi Wire Mesh Products Co., Ltd. specializes in producing and exporting
high-quality expanded metal. Our expanded metal are made by precisely slitting
and stretching metal sheets into durable, lightweight meshes. This versatile
expanded metal is widely used in various industries for its excellent wear
resistance and anti-slip properties, making it ideal for walkways, barriers,
and gratings. It is especially favored in both industrial and architectural
applications where safety and durability are crucial.
Expanded metal is produced in an expanding press where the basic metal is
simultaneously slit and cold-formed, expanding the slits into various shapes
like squares, diamonds, hexagons, and other decorative patterns. This process
involves shearing a metal plate so that it stretches, creating diamond-shaped
voids surrounded by interlinked bars of metal. The most common manufacturing
method involves both slitting and stretching the metal in a single motion.
