Expanded Metal
All-Specification Expanded Metal
What is expanded metal?
1.Raw materials of expanded metal: Expanded metal is made from various metal material such as steel, aluminum, stainless steel, copper, and brass.
2.Manufacturing process of expanded metal: The metal sheet is slit and stretched by machines to form a uniform expanded metal mesh with a three-dimensional diamond-shaped pattern.
3.Advantages of expanded metal: It is formed as a single piece without welding, with a flat surface, uniform openings, high tensile strength, and excellent durability and safety.
The high quality of expanded metal from Shang Kai Steel comes from:
1.Expanded metal is entirely made using metal materials from CSC (China Steel Corporation), with proof of material batches and sourcing available.
2.With a highly precise and standardized manufacturing process, each piece of expanded metal maintains a dimensional tolerance within ±3mm. This ensures easier and faster installation, significantly reducing labor time and cost. The expanded metal made by Shang Kai Steel can be used approximately 60 years.

- Expanded metal can be applied across various industries such as building construction, architectural facades, interior decoration, and specific industrial materials.
- The raw materials of expanded metal are selected based on the specific application needs and performance requirements.
- The specifications and design of expanded metal—including mesh size, shape, and pattern—are chosen according to the industry requirements.
Filtering Transparency
The diamond pattern of expanded metal delivers precise airflow control. Fine metal mesh is widely built into automotive air-conditioning and cooling systems to filter impurities while letting a calibrated volume of air pass through.
Stability & Safety
The slip-resistant surface of expanded metal mesh can be laminated to glass, concrete or plastic, forming robust metal mesh panels that boost structural durability and safety.
Greening & Energy Saving
Expanded metal has already had two green-building material certifications and a full life-cycle carbon audit. As an architectural facade, it helps projects earn green-building labels, win ESG tenders or obtain government subsidies.
Design Flexibility
Because the diamond patterns of expanded metal are continuous, the expanded metal can be cut, spliced or framed to make creative designs.
Surface Treatment
An expanded metal sheet can receive hot-dip galvanizing, metal plating, powder coating or plastic over-molding, allowing engineers to match any aesthetic or environmental requirement.
