EXPANDED METAL
1.Advantage of expanded metal:the mesh is formed from a single piece of material so the process is not wasteful and therefore cost effective. The material is cut and stretched while still leaving it attached at the knuckle. This allows it to retain its shape when cut and cannot separate or fray. Often cutting to shape is the only fabrication needed.
It has excellent corrosion resistance when suitably coated, and the uncut knuckles support weight and withstand stress better than jointed welds or woven materials.
2. Aperture type of expanded metal:
Diamond,round,hexagonal,hetertype,square
3. Types and surface treatment of expanded metal:
expanded metal can be supplied in a variety of finishes, thickness, raised or flattened. Flattened is smoother and does not indent soft materials if this is a consideration but is not as strong as the more robust raised mesh. Powder coating in your choice of colour will enhance its aesthetic appearance and add to its corrosion resistance as would plastic coating.
4.Technical terms of expanded metal:
SWD: 2.5mm-50mm (Short Way of the Diamond), the distance from the middle of the bond on one side to the middle of the bond on the opposite side.LWD: 3mm-100mm(Long Way of the Diamond) is the distance across the largest dimension of the diamond measured halfway between the diamonds.Width: 0.5m-2.8m
Length:1m-50mThickness(gauge): Up to 8mm, Original thickness of metal before expanding.Strand Width: 0.3mm to 8mm, Amount of metal between diamonds to produce one strand.SWD, LWD Direction: Parallel to Length or Parallel to Width
