Flattened Expanded Metal Description:
Each sheet is expanded metal mesh in the regular form and then passed through a cold rolled reducing mill. In this process the length of the sheet is elongated - usually about 5% - but the width of the sheet remains the same. The sheet is then sent through a leveler to maintain its flatness.
Flattened Expanded Metal Sheets are used in many fields, such as security, urban landscaping and architectural decoration. Materials for Flattened Sheets include aluminum, carbon steel, stainless steel, titanium alloys and many others.
Flattened expanded metal is the same product as Standard Expanded Metal, but has been cold rolled by a flattening machine to give it a smooth flat surface. The Flattening reduces the thickness (gauge) of the material and bonds it down creating Flat Expanded Metal. As with the Standard Expanded Metal, this material is used in many fields such as Security, Power stations, Machine guards, and storage. Flattened expanded metal is available in Aluminum, Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Titanium and many other Alloys. See which item best fills your requirements.
