Expanded Metal Mesh

MORE DETAILS

Haopeng offers expanded metal and grating in a variety of opening sizes and thicknesses to accommodate a variety of applications ranging from outdoor furniture, to irrigation box security enclosures, to trailer ramp traction surfaces to machine guards, elevated walkways and more. Expanded metal sheets are produced by slitting and stretching sheet metal to create diamond-shaped openings. The openings in the steel sheets allow for air, liquid, sound, and light/visibility to pass through. Expanded metal grating is used for applications where strong, low-cost, open flooring is required as seen on catwalks, machine platforms, and stair treads. The long way of the diamond runs parallel to the length of the sheet with grating.

Characteristics of expanded metal mesh

Production process:

The whole metal plate is formed in one step through punching, shearing and stretching processes, without welding points, and the structure is stable.

The mesh shape is usually rhombus, and can also be customized into hexagons or other shapes.

Material:

Common materials include stainless steel plates, aluminum plates or galvanized steel plates. Choose the appropriate material according to the application scenario.

Surface treatment:

It can be treated with spraying, galvanizing, painting, etc. to improve corrosion resistance and decorative effect.

Advantages of expanded metal mesh

High strength:

Through the one-piece molding process, it has excellent load-bearing capacity and impact resistance.

Light weight:

At the same strength, expanded metal mesh is lighter than other metal meshes, which is convenient for transportation and installation.

Ventilation and light transmission:

The mesh design gives it good ventilation, light transmission and drainage performance.

Strong durability:

The material and surface treatment can enhance corrosion resistance and weather resistance as needed, suitable for long-term use.

Application of steel plate mesh

Construction industry:

Used for scaffolding, anti-slip pedals, ceiling ceilings and wall decoration.

Industrial field:

Used as protective covers, filters and ventilation nets for mechanical equipment.

Transportation facilities:

Used for highway guardrails, bridge protection nets and fences.

Decoration field:

Used for indoor and outdoor decoration, combined with different colors and mesh designs to enhance aesthetics.

Production of expanded metal for industry

Expanded metal mesh is produced by means of a cold metal forming process. This obtains openings and regular gaps with different shapes (diamond-shaped, square and round) and sizes, permitting air, liquids and light transition. The expanded metal mesh can be used to create filtration or protection devices for different applications in the industrial sectors, such as:

automotive

household appliances

petrochemical industry

solar energy

chemical industry

finished products

The wide variety of metal meshes for industry is represented by geometric features of mesh opening ranging from extremely small sizes (such as the micro-mesh) to larger sizes.

We both manufacture and supply expanded metal. Therefore, our skills and experience allow us to meet numerous manufacturing requirements. When you purchase our expanded metal mesh products, you do not have to contract out this work to additional providers. This leads you to greater efficiency and helps you to save time and money.

Materials

We can produce expanded metal in mild steel, pregalvanised or stainless steel AISI 304-316-310-430, titanium, nickel, aluminium, corten or any other ductile material.

Haopeng can be subjected to different sorts of transformation, as follows:

shearing

deep drawing

surface treatments

heat treatments

calendering

washing

cutting

crimping

multi-material injection molding

Whatever is the process, type of expanded metal mesh or field of application, we guarantee the highest quality.

If you cannot find what you are looking for, we are at your disposal to work with you to develop custom products that best fit your requirements and match your application. Contact us for personalized advice.

RELATED FAQ

What is Wedge Wire Screen Tube?

The wedge wire filter element is a filter element composed of a "V" shaped stainless steel wire and a stainless steel support strip. Its smooth surface is the filter surface, and the gap is a strip, which belongs to the surface filtration form.

What are the primary applications of wedge wire Screen Tube?

Wedge wire filter elements are widely used in many fields, mainly including petrochemical, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, water treatment.

What is the difference between wedge wire filter elements and other wire mesh filter elements?

The wedge-shaped wire filter element has a higher filtration efficiency and can achieve extremely high filtration effects by controlling the particle gaps of the wedge-shaped mesh.

The wedge-shaped wire filter element is suitable for high-flow and high-pressure industrial filtration occasions, especially for industrial water, drinking water purification, sand separation and treatment, sewage treatment and other fields.

What is the material of wedge wire?

The main material of wedge wire is stainless steel. Specifically, wedge wire is usually made of high-quality stainless steel materials, such as 302, 304, 304L, 316L, etc.

Where are wedge wire screen tube used?

Industries include water treatment, oil and gas, pulp and paper, mining, and food and beverage.

What is the expected lifespan of wedge wire screen tube?

With proper maintenance, wedge wire screens can have a long lifespan, often exceeding 10 years.

What is a perforated metal anti-skid plate?

A perforated metal anti-skid plate is a type of metal plate that combines a perforated design with anti-slip or anti-skid features.

Where are perforated metal anti-skid plates used?

Industrial Flooring:

Used in factories, warehouses, and production lines as flooring or walkways to provide a non-slip surface for workers.

Staircases and Platforms:

Used for stairs, ladders, and elevated platforms to provide safe access and reduce the risk of slips and falls.

Vehicle and Transport Decks:

Commonly used in trucks, trailers, or shipping containers to create a stable, non-slip surface for cargo handling.

Outdoor and Marine Applications:

Used in outdoor environments such as docks, walkways, and industrial outdoor installations where water or mud can create slippery conditions.

What are the common types of perforated metal sheets?

Perforated Sheet with Raised Patterns: Features raised sections in the perforated pattern for enhanced anti-slip properties.

Serrated Metal Plate: Uses serrated edges or a textured surface in combination with perforations to improve skid resistance.

What is the material of perforated metal sheet?

▪Stainless Steel: Resistant to corrosion and durable, ideal for harsh environments like marine, chemical, or food processing industries.

▪Aluminum: Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, commonly used in transportation, aerospace, and exterior architectural applications.

▪Carbon Steel: Strong and cost-effective, often used in industrial and construction settings.
