Small Hole Expanded Metal
Home > Products > Expanded Metal > Small Hole Expanded Metal > Carbon Steel Small Hole Expanded Metal
Carbon steel small hole expanded metal mesh is high-performance and versatile. Using custom high-precision molds, carbon steel plates undergo precise stamping and directional stretching to create dense small holes with uniform hole diameters and spacing. The overall forming process has no weak welding points, retaining the inherent structural stability and load-bearing capacity of carbon steel. Strict process control ensures flatness and dimensional accuracy, meeting customization needs for different scenarios.
Made from high-quality carbon steel, commonly using Q195 and Q235 structural carbon steel, the product is endowed with excellent mechanical properties such as high tensile strength, good toughness, and strong wear resistance, with a higher cost performance than alloy mesh materials.
Leveraging the advantages of carbon steel material and small-hole design, this expanded metal mesh has a wide range of applications. In industrial manufacturing, it can be used as protective nets for mechanical equipment, precision filters for powders and liquids, and anti-slip nets for industrial workbenches. In the construction industry, it serves as a reinforcing mesh for lightweight wall plastering, small-area ceiling partition nets, and for reinforcing building components. It is also used in municipal engineering (outdoor fences, drainage grilles), warehousing and logistics (shelf isolation nets), civil security (community railings), etc., suitable for scenarios requiring fine protection, filtration, and compact structural layouts.

Production Workflow

Raw material
Our raw material steel plates are supplied by recognized companies such as Baosteel and Shougang Group. When the materials arrive, our quality control team performs detailed testing on chemical composition, dimensions, and related specifications to guarantee they meet or surpass quality requirements.

Stamping
Our company is equipped with advanced 4000 mm ultra-wide expanded metal manufacturing machines, as well as flattening and leveling equipment. We have developed and accumulated more than 1,000 types of precision molds for expanded metal, allowing us to satisfy customer demands for larger-sized materials. We can also select or customize new mesh patterns to meet requirements related to strength, appearance, ventilation, and shading.

Flattening
Our workshop is equipped with comprehensive deep-processing machinery such as cutting, flattening, bending, and welding equipment. With these capabilities, we can deliver customized processing solutions for expanded metal products to meet diverse application needs.

Leveling
Using high-precision leveling machinery, we ensure that the mesh surface remains flat, with evenly distributed openings and superior flatness tolerance. With many years of expertise and multiple CNC leveling machines, our skilled team optimizes operational parameters to maintain high productivity and consistent product quality.

Surface treatment
Our company offers a comprehensive range of surface treatment solutions, such as galvanizing, powder coating, anodizing, and PVDF coating. These finishes provide excellent durability and an appealing appearance for both functional and decorative uses.

Quality inspection
During manufacturing, our technical staff closely monitor processes such as punching, flattening, shearing, and leveling. This ensures that product quality can be evaluated continuously while also allowing us to detect and improve any weaknesses in the production process.

Packaging
Our packaging solutions are designed according to the chemical and physical properties of the products. Waterproof, moisture-resistant, and protective materials are used to minimize the risk of damage during shipping. We also offer customized packaging to meet individual customer specifications.
