Flattened Expanded Metal Serves for Living Field
Flattened expanded metal is made by passing standard expanded metal through a cold rolled reducing mill, leaving a flat and smooth surface that is similar to perforated metal. The rolling process makes the strands and bonds down, thus reducing the thickness of the metal sheet and stretching the pattern. Flattened expanded metal possesses many properties, making it a very versatile product suitable for applications across many industries, such as commercial, automobile and agricultural.
FEM-01: One flattened expanded metal with PVC coated for anti-oxidation and corrosion resistance, and there are many colours for choice.
FEM-02: Flattened expanded metal is made by passing the raised expanded metal sheet through a cold rolled reducing mill, and then sent through a leveler to maintain its flatness.
FEM-03: Flattened expanded metal sheet can be welded into cylindrical shape, whose diameter can vary to meet your needs.
FEM-04: Flattened expanded metal with PVC coated can be made into bicycle basket, its structure is not easily damaged by the goods in the basket.
FEM-05: The special opening pattern of flattened expanded metal sheet is suitable for decorative use.
Shearing methods
Expanded metal shearing methods include four ways from two directions. They give you an instruction when ordering expanded metal.
FEM-06: Flattened expanded metal can be sheared within two directions - side and end.
- End bond shearing
One end is cut on the bond parallel to the SWD, the other end usually has open diamonds.
- End random shearing
The shearing direction is parallel to the SWD. The end random cut normally leaves open diamonds at the ends.
- Side bond shearing
Side bond cut is made along the length of the metal sheet on the center line of the bond over the specific width.
- Side random shearing
Side random shearing is cut that is parallel to the LWD dimension of the metal sheet, leaving opening diamonds.
