Raised expanded metal, also called regualr expanded metal, or standard expanded metals. It comes from the press after having been die cut and expanded. Each sheet that comes off the expander is in standard or regular form with the junctions at the strands and bonds forming a ridge surface. Typical applications include safety guards on various pieces of equipment or machinery. The illustration to the right shows that the strands and bonds form a sharp angle to the original plane of the solid sheet. Expanded metal is produced in regular form off the expanders. The strands and bonds are set at a uniform angle to the plane of the sheet. this gives added strength and rigidity, as well as a skid resistant surface.
