Product Features & Advantages
- Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: 316L stainless steel contains molybdenum, providing superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in harsh environments such as coastal areas, chemical plants, and food processing facilities.
- High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: The expanding process work-hardens the steel, increasing its rigidity without adding extra weight. The 0.9mm expanded sheet is strong enough for security barriers and grilles while remaining lightweight for easy handling and installation.
- Optimized Open Area (50%): The diamond pattern with 6x12mm openings allows for excellent ventilation, natural light passage, and liquid drainage. This makes it ideal for architectural facades, sunscreens, and filtration support.
- Durable Powder Coating: Our powder coating is applied using electrostatic spray, then cured to form a hard, impact-resistant finish. It protects against scratches, UV fading, and chemical exposure. Available in standard RAL colors or custom matches.
- Versatile & Customizable: Sheets can be cut to size, bent, curved, or welded to create complex shapes. The material is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, including walkways, machine guards, fencing, and decorative panels.
- Consistent Quality: Each sheet is produced on precision expansion machines with strict quality control. The diamond pattern is uniform, ensuring reliable performance and aesthetic consistency.
Common Applications
- Architectural & Decorative: Cladding, sunshades, ceiling panels, partition screens, and balustrades.
- Safety & Security: Machine guards, window grilles, security fencing, and anti-climb barriers.
- Filtration & Separation: Support grids for filter media, sieves, and strainers in food, chemical, and water treatment industries.
- Industrial Walkways & Platforms: Non-slip expanded metal for catwalks, stairs, and scaffolding planks.
- Agricultural & Animal Enclosures: Ventilated panels for poultry cages, greenhouses, and storage bins.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Is this expanded metal sheet suitable for outdoor use?
A: Yes, the 316L stainless steel base provides excellent resistance to rust and corrosion. The powder coating adds an extra protective layer, making it ideal for outdoor applications such as facades, fencing, and walkways. However, we recommend checking the coating color for UV stability if used in direct sunlight.
Q2: Can I get the sheet cut to a custom size?
A: Absolutely. We offer custom cutting services to meet your specific dimensions. Please contact our sales team with your desired length and width, and we will provide a quote. Tolerances are typically ±2mm.
Q3: What colors are available for the powder coating?
A: Standard colors include black, white, gray, and green (RAL 9005, 9010, 7042, 6005). We can also match any RAL color or special finish like textured or metallic. Minimum order quantities may apply for custom colors.
Q4: How does the 50% open area affect the strength?
A: The open area of 50% is achieved through the expansion process, which actually increases the material's stiffness per unit weight. The 6x12mm diamond pattern distributes loads evenly. For most applications like fencing or machine guards, the strength is more than adequate. For heavy-duty load-bearing, we recommend a thicker base material.
Q5: Is this sheet suitable for food-grade applications?
A: 316L stainless steel is often used in food processing due to its corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning. However, if your application involves direct contact with food, please inform us so we can ensure the powder coating is food-safe (FDA compliant) or offer a non-coated version.
Q6: What is the weight of one sheet?
A: Approximate weight of a 2000x1000mm sheet with 0.9mm base thickness and powder coating is around 3.5 kg. Exact weight may vary slightly depending on coating thickness and strand width.
Q7: Can this material be welded?
A: Yes, 316L stainless steel expanded metal can be welded using standard TIG or MIG techniques. The low carbon content minimizes carbide precipitation during welding, maintaining corrosion resistance. We recommend using 316L filler wire.
Q8: Do you offer free samples?
A: We can provide small samples (e.g., 200x200mm) for evaluation. Please contact us with your shipping details. Sample costs and shipping fees may apply, but we will deduct them from your first bulk order if placed within 30 days.
