The expanded aluminum metal is made by cutting and expanding the original steel plate using the latest technology.Expanded aluminum metal is one type of expanded metal mesh,the material is aluminum so named expanded aluminum metals. It is lightweight and has strong bearing capacity. The most common aluminium expanded metal is diamond-shaped and other hole types include hexagonal, round, triangular, fish-scale holes and so on. And widely used in curtain wall, ceiling,fence,households, agriculture, filtration, protection,handicraft manufacturing, etc.
What is the basic specification of aluminum metal?
A. WIDTH OF MESH (S.W.D.)
B. LENGTH OF MESH (L.W.D.)
C. WIDTH OF OPENING
D. LENGTH OF OPENING
E. STRAND THICKNESS
F. STRAND WIDTH
S.W.D. |
Short Way Diamond |
L.W.D |
Long Way Diamond |
Bond |
Area where strands intersect |
Strand Width |
Surface area of metal strips forming diamond |
Strand Thickness |
Gauge of material being expanded |
Flattening |
Flattened short dimension diamond parallel to rolls |
Leveling |
Mesh roller leveling to reduce curving |
How to calculate the weight of expanded aluminum metal?
If you want to calculate the weight of expanded aluminum metal we must know SWD,Strand width锛宼hickness锛孡ength锛寃idth and material. Re the density of aluminum,the density of 3003 is 2,73kg/m3 and other grade like 1060,5052,5005,etc is 2,71kg/m2There is the way of calculate the weight as following:
Plate length=mesh length*strand width/0.5*SWD
Weight=plate length x width x thickness x density
How to change Gauge to thickness of inch and millimeter?
What is the advantage of expanded aluminum mesh?
1. Openings allow the free flow of light, heat, sound, and air.
2. Various colors and openings.
3. Bright color, high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and environment friendly.
4. It will not lose when cut, unlike the woven wire mesh.
5. Cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
6. Lightweight is ideal for the curtain wall of the building.
7. It’s easy to install and durable but low maintenance cost.
What are application of expanded aluminum metal?
Nowadays expanded metal mesh is widely used curtain wall,ceiling and highway fence.It is also used for Industrial,walkway,filter,and machine protection.
