Expanded Steel Mesh
Expanded steel mesh is the most economical type of metal material. It is made of low carbon steel sheet or plate, which is much cheaper than stainless steel and aluminum expanded metal. However, steel mesh is susceptible to rust or corrosion. To prevent this problem, the finish such as galvanizing are usually performed on the surface of expanded steel. Galvanizing includes electric galvanized and hot-dip galvanized.
We provide a variety of expanded steel sheets to suit your different applications. Our expanded steel mesh includes flattened and raised expanded steel mesh. The hole patterns are available in different shapes, such as diamond, hexagonal and other decorative holes.
