Product Introduction
Aluminum Flattened Expanded Metal is a metal mesh product manufactured from high‑grade 1050 pure aluminum or 3003 aluminum alloy sheets. During production, aluminum sheets are first precisely slit and stretched by CNC equipment to form a seamless diamond mesh with uniform openings. The expanded mesh then undergoes a precision flattening process, passing through heavy‑duty rollers to create a smooth and even surface on both sides. The product features no welded joints, retaining the core properties of aluminum - particularly its excellent strength‑to‑weight ratio, natural corrosion resistance, and non‑magnetic characteristics - while the flattening process greatly enhances practical performance. The finished product is lightweight, structurally rigid, snag‑free, aesthetically appealing, and easy to clean, without compromising structural strength or permeability.
The product is widely used in the following fields. In modern architectural decoration, it is suitable for building facades, sunshades, and interior decorative panels, meeting demands for a smooth metallic finish, light diffusion, and design versatility. In industrial applications, it is used for walkways, mezzanine decks, and access panels, especially in environments prioritizing light weight, corrosion resistance, and a smooth, easy‑to‑clean surface. In professional screening and filtration, it serves applications requiring flat, inert surfaces, such as food processing, specialized air filtration, and protective covers for precision equipment. In design and commercial display components, it is used for decorative grilles, display structures, and sign backings, fully utilizing its formability, modern appearance, and lightweight nature.

Production Workflow

Raw material
To ensure product quality, we source our steel plate raw materials from reputable suppliers like Baosteel and Shougang Group. Our quality inspection team carefully checks the chemical composition, dimensions, and other relevant specifications of each batch received.
Stamping
We operate advanced 4000 mm ultra-wide expanded metal production machines together with flattening and leveling equipment. Our in-house R&D team has developed more than 1,000 precision expanded metal molds, enabling us to produce wide expanded metal sheets. New mesh patterns can also be selected or developed to meet application requirements such as load-bearing strength, ventilation, shading, and visual design.


Flattening
With advanced deep-processing equipment including cutting, flattening, bending, and welding machines, we are able to provide customized fabrication services for expanded metal products.
Leveling
We rely on precision leveling technology to produce mesh surfaces that are smooth, flat, and uniform. Our facility features multiple CNC leveling machines, and our skilled technicians carefully adjust operating parameters to guarantee stable quality and efficient production.


Surface treatment
We apply advanced finishing technologies such as galvanizing, powder coating, anodizing, and PVDF coating to our expanded metal products, ensuring both enhanced longevity and excellent aesthetic performance.
Quality inspection
Real-time monitoring is implemented during key production stages such as punching, flattening, shearing, and leveling. This allows our technicians to verify product quality continuously and improve production processes where necessary.


Packaging
We carefully select packaging materials based on product properties to ensure protection against water, moisture, and damage during transportation. Custom packaging services can also be provided upon request.
