Expanded Wire Mesh, commonly known as steel plate mesh, stretched mesh, and expanded metal mesh in Chinese, is a mesh metal plate made by punching, shearing, and stretching a whole metal plate. It is not like a woven mesh that is made of metal wires, but is formed into a continuous mesh structure by stretching after slotting. There are no welding or weaving points, and the structure is stronger and more integrated.
🛠️ Process features:
The raw material is a whole steel plate, without seams or breakpoints
It is cut and stretched into diamond, hexagonal and other meshes by special machinery
One-piece molding, high strength and impact resistance
📐 Common technical parameters:
Project Parameter range
Material Low carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, galvanized sheet, copper, etc.
Hole type Diamond (standard), hexagonal, fish scale hole, crocodile mouth hole, etc.
Aperture (SWD × LWD) Short Way × Long Way, such as: 5mm×10mm, 25mm×50mm
Thickness 0.3mm – 8.0mm (plate thickness)
Expanded width Conventional 1m, 1.2m, 1.5m, can also be customized
Surface treatment Spray painting, electrogalvanizing, hot dip galvanizing, anodizing (aluminum), etc.

galvanized wire
Galvanized iron wire is steel wire coated with a zinc layer through hot-dip or electro-galvanizing processes. This zinc coating acts as a sacrificial barrier, protecting the base metal from rust and corrosion in harsh environments. Typically made from low-carbon steel, it combines strength with exceptional durability, making it ideal for outdoor
