Carbon Steel Expanded Metal Flattened, 0.8mm Thickness, 6mm x 12mm Opening, 1m x 2m Sheet
Product Spotlights
Anping Xinye Metal Wire Mesh Products Co., Ltd, located in the wire mesh hub of Hengshui, Hebei, China, is proud to present our premium Carbon Steel Expanded Metal Flattened sheet. With a precise thickness of 0.8mm, diamond-shaped openings of 6mm x 12mm, and a standard sheet size of 1m x 2m, this product is engineered for applications requiring strength, light weight, and excellent air/light permeability. Our flattened expanded metal undergoes a specialized rolling process that eliminates sharp edges, making it safe to handle and ideal for both industrial and decorative uses. Each sheet is manufactured using high-quality carbon steel coils, ensuring consistent dimensions and reliable performance. If you are looking for a durable, cost-effective, and versatile mesh material, this product is a smart choice for your next project.
Product Features & Technical Specifications
- Material: High-quality carbon steel (Q235 grade equivalent) – offers excellent tensile strength and weldability.
- Flattened Design: After expanding, the mesh is passed through a flattening mill, producing a smooth, level surface with no sharp raised edges. This makes it safer for pedestrian traffic and easier to paint or coat.
- Opening Geometry: Diamond-shaped openings of 6mm (short way) x 12mm (long way). The strand width is approximately 1.0mm, providing a good balance between open area and material strength.
- Sheet Dimensions: Standard 1m x 2m (width x length). Custom sizes can be cut upon request, with minimum order quantities.
- Weight: Approximately 2.5 kg per sheet (based on standard thickness and opening). Lightweight for easy handling and installation.
- Surface Finish: Uncoated mill finish as standard. Options for hot-dip galvanizing, PVC coating, or powder coating are available for enhanced corrosion resistance.

Key Advantages for Your Business
- One-piece construction: Unlike woven wire mesh, expanded metal is slit and stretched from a single sheet, eliminating the risk of strands unraveling or shifting.
- High strength-to-weight ratio: The diamond pattern provides structural rigidity while keeping the material light – ideal for applications where weight savings matter.
- Versatile use: Suitable for security fencing, machine guards, walkway treads, shelving, ventilation grilles, filters, and decorative panels.
- Easy to work with: Can be cut, welded, bent, and painted using standard metalworking tools. The flattened surface allows for clean edges and better coating adhesion.
- Cost-effective: Carbon steel offers excellent durability at a lower material cost compared to stainless steel or aluminum alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is the difference between flattened and standard expanded metal?
A: Standard expanded metal has raised strands that create a rough, slip-resistant surface. Flattened expanded metal is passed through a rolling mill after expansion, resulting in a smooth, flat surface that is safer for handling and more suitable for applications where a uniform thickness is required. -
Q: Can I get this product in a different sheet size or thickness?
A: Yes, we offer customization. Minimum order quantities may apply for non-standard sizes. Please contact our sales team with your specific dimensions and we will provide a quote. -
Q: Is this product suitable for outdoor use?
A: The uncoated carbon steel version is not recommended for direct outdoor exposure without additional protection. We recommend hot-dip galvanizing or powder coating for outdoor applications to prevent rust. Both options are available upon request. -
Q: How do I cut or shape this expanded metal sheet?
A: You can use standard metal cutting tools such as angle grinders with cutting discs, tin snips, or plasma cutters. For best results, wear appropriate safety gear and secure the sheet firmly before cutting. -
Q: What is the tolerance on the opening size?
A: The standard manufacturing tolerance for opening size is ±0.5 mm for the short way and ±1.0 mm for the long way. This ensures consistent performance for most applications. -
Q: Is the product weldable?
A: Yes, carbon steel expanded metal is easily weldable using standard MIG, TIG, or stick welding techniques. The flattened surface provides a clean contact area for welding. -
Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: For standard sizes, the MOQ is 50 sheets. For custom sizes or special finishes, the MOQ may be higher. We also accept sample orders for evaluation. -
Q: How is the product packed for shipping?
A: Sheets are bundled together with steel strapping, wrapped in waterproof paper, and placed on wooden pallets or in crates to protect against damage during transit. Additional packaging options can be arranged.
