How to make expanded metal?
The expanded metal machine is a special piece of equipment used to process a whole metal plate into steel plate mesh. It integrates “punching and shearing” and “stretching” and is the core equipment of the entire steel plate mesh production.
What can be used as raw materials?
Common raw materials include:
Carbon steel plate (ordinary steel)—Low cost
Stainless steel plate (304/316)—Corrosion resistant
Aluminum plate—Lightweight and rust-proof
Copper plate, titanium plate, etc.—Special decorative or functional purposes
What are the common treatments for decorative purposes?
| Surface | Treatment Features | Suggested use |
|---|---|---|
| Powder coating (electrostatic spraying) | Available in many colors,rust-proof | Indoor walls and ceilings |
| Electroplating (zinc/nickel) | Anti-corrosion, metallic | Luster Indoor modern style |
| Anodizing (for aluminum mesh) | Various colors, high-end feeling | Shopping malls, exhibition halls |
| Paint Saturated | Colors, low cost | Temporary decoration or art installation |

How to install and apply expanded metal?
Wall decoration: Use screws or clips to fix the steel plate mesh to the wall keel.
Ceiling shape: Use light steel keel and screws to hang, and it looks more advanced with lighting.
Partition or screen: Add frame welding to form, stand, or slide rail push and pull.
Railing or guardrail: The steel plate mesh is welded on the metal frame, which is strong and beautiful.
Background wall/logo wall: With lighting and logo board, it has a strong visual impact
Case:
The expanded metal part of the ceiling of Lusail Stadium is used for decoration, and the expanded metal mesh is made by our expanded metal mesh machine.
