Small Hole Expanded Metal – Lighter, More Flexible & Durable

Small hole expanded metal is a small hole light-duty expanded metal produced by using precision punching and shearing machine through slitting and stretching. It is one of the preferred materials used in building protection and reinforcement design, filter element support and small-scale electric appliance heat dissipation applications.

With 37 years of experience in expanded metal manufacturing, we can not only supply common types of small hole expanded metal products, but also meet all your expanded metal customization requirements easily.

Carbon Steel

It is one of the most cost-effective metal materials with good rigidity and great durability. It is often galvanized or powered coated to enhance its corrosion resistance. It is widely used in support structures.

Galvanized Steel

It is a type of steel that has been galvanized to enhance its corrosion resistance and anti-aging performance. It is widely used in various industrial applications including walkway gratings, stair treads, greenhouse benches, etc.

Stainless Steel

It has excellent corrosion resistant, impact resistant and fireproof characteristics. It has a bright, maintenance-free and easy to spray surface. It is widely used in various industrial and building decoration applications.

Aluminum

It features easy to form, high strength-to-weight ratio, great corrosion resistance and fire resistance. The surface is usually anodized or PVDF coated. It is an ideal material for architectural decoration applications.

Copper

It a safe and recyclable metal material with good softness, ductility, thermal and electrical conductivity. It is widely used in electrical appliances heat dissipation, Faraday cage, architectural decoration applications, etc.

Nickel

It is a silvery-white metal material with good magnetic properties, high ductility and electrical conductivity. In addition, it is not easily oxidized in air and is often used to make special steels and other alloys, catalysts, etc.

Titanium

It has a low density and the highest strength-to-weight ratio among all metallic elements. Besides, it has the highest corrosion resistance in seawater and chlorine. It is non-magnetic and has low thermal and electrical properties.

Other Alloy

We also supply other alloy materials with higher rigidity, corrosion resistance, and other special properties for expanded metal production to suit to harsh working conditions and meet your special project requirements.
