Applications with unique parameters and requirements are perfect for expanded materials. The wide range in open areas can facilitate the use in laminations or coatings with a variety of other materials which may require a material to expand, contract or flex. 500″ (LWD). Open Area can range from as low as 30% to as high as 95%. Specialized process variations, such as flattening, pulling, and annealing availableĭexmet's typical standard expanded metal range can have diamond mesh sizes from.
Wide range of sizes, patterns, angles and materials.Superior shielding, electrical and heat transfer properties.No metal is lost in the expanding process and the final. In the expanding process, the sheet is simultaneously slit and stretched, expanding the slits into diamond-shaped holes of uniform size, shape and regularity. Eliminates unraveling and contact resistance of woven mesh Expanded metal mesh products are produced from solid sheets of carbon steel, galvanized steel, or aluminium and other metals/alloys.Dexmet MicroGrid® expanded metal foils are available in most ductile metals, or we can work with your proprietary material.Īluminum, copper, nickel, cold rolled steel, stainless steel (302, 316, 409, 430), titanium, brass, zinc, Monel™ Whether it's EMI shielding effectiveness or lightning strike conductivity, the process of metal foil expansion is infinitely variable and can be fine-tuned to meet your performance specifications. All our expanded metals can be tailored to meet specific mechanical and electrical performance parameters. Dexmet expanded metal foils are used for aerospace and wind turbine lightning strike protection, EMI shielding, advanced primary and secondary battery electrode design, automobile bearings and bushings, as well as air and hydraulic filtration systems. A superior alternative to woven wire, our precision expanded metals are used in a wide variety of applications that require an open-area product.
