Yunde Metals is an expanded metal supplier of versatile and economical expanded metal that is made from a high-quality metal sheet. Our expanded metal sheet is available in many sizes, openings, and material types.Yunde Metals offers expanded metal materials such as aluminum, carbon steel, galvanized steel or stainless steel. This metal sheet is uniformly slit and stretched, forming diamond-shaped openings in the sheet that allow for the passage of light, air, heat, and sound. The strands and bonds of the diamonds in the sheet add strength and rigidity.

Flattened expanded metal is cold rolled through a machine that flattens the metal after the expansion process. It is the best choice for when a smooth surface is desired.

1. Construction industry: It is used in the construction of walls, ceilings, and floors. As a reinforcing material, it can improve the strength and stability of concrete structures. It is also used in the formwork of concrete to provide support and shape. In addition, flattened expanded metal can be used as a decorative material for building facades, adding an aesthetically pleasing and modern look.
2. Fencing and security: It is widely used for making fences, security grilles, and gates. The open - mesh structure of flattened expanded metal allows for good visibility while providing security and protection. It is commonly used in industrial areas, warehouses, schools, and residential compounds to prevent unauthorized access.
3. Filtration and screening: Due to its uniform aperture size and good permeability, flattened expanded metal is used in filtration and screening applications. It can be used to make filters for air, water, and other fluids, as well as sieves for separating particles of different sizes in the mining, chemical, and food processing industries.
4. Industrial platforms and walkways: In industrial settings, flattened expanded metal is used to construct platforms, walkways, and stair treads. Its non - slip surface provides safety for workers, and its high load - bearing capacity can withstand heavy equipment and traffic. It is also resistant to corrosion and abrasion, making it suitable for use in harsh industrial environments.
5. HVAC systems: In heating, ventilation, and air - conditioning (HVAC) systems, flattened expanded metal is used as a grille or diffuser. It helps to evenly distribute air throughout a room or building and can also act as a filter to prevent dust and debris from entering the HVAC system.
6. Electrical and electronic applications: It is used in the manufacture of electrical enclosures, shielding, and grounding components. The metal's conductivity and electromagnetic shielding properties make it useful for protecting sensitive electronic equipment from electromagnetic interference.
7. Automotive and transportation: Flattened expanded metal is used in the automotive industry for applications such as radiator grilles, exhaust systems, and vehicle underbody protection. In the transportation industry, it is used in the construction of truck beds, trailers, and railway carriages.
8. Agriculture and horticulture: It can be used in agricultural applications such as fencing for livestock, as well as in greenhouses and nurseries for supporting plants and providing shade. The open - mesh structure allows for good air circulation and sunlight penetration, which is beneficial for plant growth.
