Carbon Steel Expanded Metal, 1.5mm Thick, 15mm x 30mm Opening, Standard Compliant With Mill Test Report
Product Spotlights
Anping Xinye Metal Wire Mesh Products Co., Ltd, located in the heart of China’s wire mesh manufacturing hub – Hengshui, Hebei – proudly presents our high-quality Carbon Steel Expanded Metal with a precise thickness of 1.5 mm and a uniform opening of 15 mm × 30 mm. This product is manufactured to meet strict industry standards and is supplied with a Mill Test Report for full traceability and quality assurance. Whether you need reliable grating for walkways, ventilation panels, or security fencing, our expanded metal delivers exceptional strength, durability, and cost-effectiveness. As a direct manufacturer with over a decade of experience, we ensure every sheet meets rigorous quality control before shipment.
Our expanded metal is created through a precise slitting and stretching process that transforms a solid carbon steel sheet into a network of diamond-shaped openings. This technique not only conserves material but also enhances the strength-to-weight ratio, making it ideal for applications where both load-bearing capacity and lightweight design are critical. The 1.5 mm base thickness combined with 15 mm × 30 mm openings provides an optimal balance between open area and structural integrity.
Key Features & Benefits
- Superior Strength: The expanded metal structure distributes loads evenly, offering high tensile strength without the weight of solid sheet metal. Ideal for heavy-duty industrial flooring, platforms, and walkways.
- Excellent Ventilation & Visibility: The 15 mm × 30 mm openings allow free airflow, light transmission, and visual access, making it perfect for security screens, machine guards, and architectural facades.
- Slip Resistance: The raised diamond pattern provides natural slip resistance, even in wet or oily conditions – a key safety feature for stair treads, catwalks, and mezzanine floors.
- Easy Fabrication: Can be cut, welded, bent, or formed using standard metalworking tools. Custom sizes and shapes are available upon request.
- Mill Test Report Included: Every shipment comes with a documented Mill Test Report (MTR) certifying chemical composition and mechanical properties, ensuring full compliance with your project specifications.
- Cost-Effective: Compared to perforated metal or welded wire mesh, expanded metal offers a more economical solution with comparable strength and durability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What does the Mill Test Report include?
A: The Mill Test Report (MTR) includes chemical composition (C, Si, Mn, P, S, etc.) and mechanical properties (yield strength, tensile strength, elongation) of the carbon steel used. It is provided with each shipment to ensure compliance with your specifications. -
Q: Can you supply this expanded metal in galvanized finish?
A: Yes, we offer hot-dip galvanized and electro-galvanized options. Please specify your requirement when ordering. The standard mill finish is also available. -
Q: What is the typical lead time for bulk orders?
A: For standard sizes (2m × 1m), lead time is 7–15 working days after deposit, depending on quantity. Custom sizes or surface treatments may require additional time. We always confirm the schedule before production. -
