Flattened Expanded Metal – Lightweight & Smooth Surface

Flattened expanded metal is what results when standard expanded metal is put through a cold rolling steel mill to flatten the expanded metal out. During the rolling process, the expanded metal becomes thinner and longer. As a result, flattened expanded metal his flatter and lighter. In actual applications, flattened expanded metal is mostly used in applications requiring lightweight, flexible expanded metal that offers certain strength and durability, such as shelves, window guards, greenhouse benches and dry safety walls.

Our flattened expanded metal products come in a variety of high quality metal materials, hole patterns and mesh openings to ensure they are perfectly suited to different industrial applications.

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.
