The difference between expanded metal and steel mesh

The difference between expanded metal and steel mesh

1. Expanded metal mesh is processed by punching and cutting machines from plates; steel mesh is woven from wires and steel wires through weaving machines.

2. The expanded metal mesh is made of sheet metal, and its wire stems are all connected; the steel mesh is woven, so there is no connection in essence.

3. Hole type, expanded metal mesh is basically a diamond-shaped hole, and steel mesh has a square or rectangular hole pattern due to weaving.

4. In terms of endurance, expanded metal is plate processing, and steel mesh is wire. Relatively speaking, expanded metal has greater endurance.

5. Uses: Expanded mesh and steel mesh are generally used in construction and protection. However, due to the greater bearing capacity of expanded metal, expanded metal is mostly used in heavy machinery, pedals, escalators, walkways and other places.
