Guide: The difference between expanded metal and steel mesh​

We will often see meshed metal mesh. At first glance, they are meshed. Next, we will explain the difference between expanded metal and steel mesh in detail.

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 and the steel mesh are woven, so there is no connection in essence.

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

Fourth, in terms of endurance, expanded metal is plate processing, and steel mesh is wire. Relatively speaking, expanded metal has a 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.
