Stainless Steel 316L Expanded Metal, 1.2mm Thickness, 4mm x 8mm Micro Opening, 1m x 1m Panel
Product Spotlights
As a leading manufacturer from Anping Xinye Metal Wire Mesh Products Co., Ltd in Hengshui, Hebei, China, we specialize in producing high-quality expanded metal products. Our Stainless Steel 316L Expanded Metal with 1.2mm thickness, 4mm x 8mm micro opening, and 1m x 1m panel size is designed for precision applications where durability and fine filtration are essential. This product combines the corrosion resistance of 316L stainless steel with the structural integrity of expanded metal, making it ideal for demanding environments.
Our expanded metal is manufactured through a cold-expansion process that creates a diamond-shaped mesh without welding or weaving, ensuring uniform strength and no loose edges. The micro opening of 4mm x 8mm allows for effective screening while maintaining airflow and visibility. Each panel measures 1m x 1m, providing a convenient size for various installations.
Key Features & Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is the difference between 316L and 304 expanded metal?
A: 316L contains molybdenum, providing better resistance to chlorides and acids. It is recommended for marine, chemical, and food processing environments where 304 may corrode. -
Q: Can I order custom sizes or different thicknesses?
A: Yes, we offer customization. Minimum order quantities may apply. Please contact us with your requirements. -
Q: Is the expanded metal deburred and safe to touch?
A: Yes, our standard production includes deburring and flattening to eliminate sharp edges. Additional surface treatment can be applied on request. -
Q: How is the open area calculated?
A: Open area is approximately 45% for this specification. It is the ratio of the open space to the total panel area, allowing airflow and light transmission. -
Q: What is the lead time for delivery?
A: For standard 1m x 1m panels, typical lead time is 7-15 working days after order confirmation. Custom orders may take longer. -
Q: Can this expanded metal be used for outdoor applications?
A: Yes, 316L stainless steel is highly resistant to weathering. However, for extreme environments, we recommend a protective coating. -
Q: Do you provide samples before bulk order?
A: Absolutely. We offer free samples (shipping cost may apply). Contact our sales team to arrange. -
Q: Is this product suitable for welding or cutting?
A: Yes, 316L expanded metal can be cut with plasma, laser, or shears, and welded using standard stainless steel techniques.
