316L Stainless Steel Expanded Metal Sheet 0.8mm Thick 4x8ft Mill Test Report Available
Product Spotlights
Welcome to Anping Xinye Metal Wire Mesh Products Co., Ltd, a trusted manufacturer located in Hengshui, Hebei, China. We specialize in the production of high-quality expanded metal sheets, and our 316L Stainless Steel Expanded Metal Sheet (0.8mm thick, 4x8ft) is engineered to deliver exceptional corrosion resistance, durability, and dimensional accuracy. Each sheet comes with a Mill Test Report to ensure traceability and material integrity, making it an ideal choice for demanding industrial, architectural, and marine applications.
This expanded metal sheet is produced by simultaneously slitting and stretching 316L stainless steel, creating a uniform diamond pattern that provides strength without adding excessive weight. The 0.8mm thickness offers a balance between rigidity and flexibility, while the standard 4x8ft size simplifies installation and reduces waste. Whether you need reliable safety barriers, walkway mesh, filtration media, or decorative panels, our product delivers consistent performance and long service life.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Premium Material: 316L stainless steel (low carbon) offers superior resistance to chlorides, acids, and harsh environments, ideal for coastal or chemical processing applications.
- Precise Thickness: 0.8 mm (±0.05 mm tolerance) ensures consistent strength and formability.
- Standard Sheet Size: 4 ft x 8 ft (1220 mm x 2440 mm) – ready to cut, weld, or install.
- Uniform Diamond Pattern: Provides excellent load distribution, ventilation, and visibility while maintaining structural integrity.
- Mill Test Report Included: Full chemical composition and mechanical property traceability for quality assurance.
- Lightweight yet Strong: Up to 80% lighter than solid sheet metal of similar strength, reducing handling and shipping costs.
