In a word, raised expanded metals are more widely used in industrial and commercial application, while flattened type are more widely used in daily life.
Flattened expanded metal is manufactured by passing the metal through a cold roll reducing mill parallel to the LWD. It is Standard Expanded Metal that has been rolled through a flattening machine in the expanding process. By flattening the sheet, the bonds and strands are turned down to produce a smooth and flat surface – essentially elongating the LWD of the diamond. Flattened Expanded Metal with versatile and be bent or formed in any direction is used in billboard walkways, catwalks, stairs, drying racks, vents, ramps, walkways, flooring.
Materials: stainless steel, carbon steel, brass, aluminum, nickel, Al-Mg alloy.
