About the expanded metal
Expanded metal is a form of metal stock made by shearing a metal plate in a press. And the most familiar way of manufacture is to simultaneously slit and stretch the material with one motion. Expanded metal is usually shorted to exmet.
Expanded metal is used in grates, outdoor furniture, fencing, installation of heating floor system and plastering. It is often used for guarding to prevent contact with hot surface r machinery.
Expanded metal is usually used for architectural details and finds use in security applications such as in the walls of a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility because, in heavier grades, it is difficult to breach without heavy cutting equipment or explosives.
Expanded metal is produced from solid sheets or plates of carbon, galvanized and stainless steel, as well as aluminum and a variety of alloys of copper, nickel, silver, titanium and other metals. Because expanded metal is made from a solid sheet of metal, and it is not woven or welded - it can never unravel. To produce expanded metal, a sheet or plate is simultaneously slit and stretched. This process expands the cuts into diamond shaped holes of uniform size and shape. Because no metal is lost in the expanding process, expanded metal is cost effective and saves energy by conserving material and allowing the fabrication to go further and do more.
