A Buyer's Guide to Expanded Metal Mesh Foil

When choosing an expanded metal mesh company, it is important to partner with one that can help identify your specific needs and requirements.

With competitive price and timely delivery, Ruiyun sincerely hope to be your supplier and partner.

To develop a customized product, you should be prepared to provide your supplier with the following information during the quoting process. A detailed estimate can indicate whether the company can offer a high-quality custom expanded metal mesh solution within your specified time constraints.

Below is the information your supplier will need to produce your custom solution:

Type of Raw Material Alloy

When selecting the right expanded metal mesh material, it is crucial to consider the requirements and constraints of your application, which can include:

Each type of raw material alloy offers unique benefits and properties to meet your project’s specifications.

Raw Material Thickness

Modern technologies allow for the enhanced expansion of metals. Today’s expanded metal mesh foil is capable of expanding as thin as 25 microns or 0.001”.

Coil Width

Custom expanding and leveling equipment is capable of expanding metal foil as wide as 1 meter or more, or 40+ inches.

Raw Expand Length

Expanded metal is the perfect solution for applications in which weight limitations apply since it is much thinner than other open-area materials. Long coil lengths are possible — only limited by the weight of the finished coil and raw material availability.

Mesh Configuration

The primary measurements of expanded metal mesh include:

• Strand Width (SW): The amount of material that needs to be slit from the parent substrate to create the opening.
• Short Way of the Diamond (SWD): The distance from the center of one joint to the center of the adjacent joint across the short axis of the diamond.
• Long Way of the Diamond (LWD): The distance from the center of one joint to the center of the adjacent joint across the diamond’s long axis.

Leveling

If your application requires the use of leveled materials, you should provide the thickness of the flattened material, known as the manufactured material thickness.

Gathering the pertinent information for measurements and specifications of your project will allow the supplier to provide an accurate quote.
