Product Introduction
Stainless Steel Flattened Expanded Metal is a corrosion-resistant metal mesh product manufactured from high-quality 304 or 316 stainless steel sheets. These stainless steel sheets boast excellent rust and acid-alkali resistance, and feature non-magnetism, non-toxicity and high toughness, making the product suitable for scenarios with stringent requirements for hygiene, corrosion resistance and long-term stability.
In the production process, high-precision slitting and stretching are first applied to the stainless steel sheets to form a rigid and integral expanded metal mesh. The primary formed mesh is then subjected to a professional flattening process and cold-rolled to create a fully smooth and flat surface, eliminating the distinctive raised strands of standard expanded metal. The product's surface is snag-free for safe use and easy to clean, while still retaining exceptional load-bearing capacity and structural stability.
With its premium comprehensive performance, this product is widely used in various professional fields. In hygienic and highly corrosive environments, it is ideal for operating platforms, walkways and safety guardrails in facilities related to food processing, pharmaceuticals, chemical engineering and marine engineering-scenarios that demand superior ease of cleaning and corrosion resistance. In the architectural decoration field, it can be used for modern building facade cladding, sleek interior decorative mesh, ornamental balustrades and signage, presenting a highly contemporary metallic finish with long service life and minimal maintenance needs. In high-strength functional application scenarios, it is suitable for filtration systems, machinery infill panels, processing trays and other applications, meeting their requirements for a smooth, robust and contamination-free surface.

Production Workflow

Raw material
Our steel plate raw materials are purchased from leading industry suppliers such as Baosteel and Shougang Group. Incoming materials are subject to strict quality control procedures, including tests of chemical composition, size verification, and other relevant parameters.
Stamping
Our production facility includes 4000 mm ultra-wide expanded metal manufacturing machines, flattening machines, and leveling equipment. Through years of development, we have accumulated more than 1,000 precision molds for expanded metal production. These allow us to provide wide-format expanded metal and develop new hole patterns according to specific application requirements.


Flattening
Our facility is fully equipped with cutting, flattening, bending, and welding equipment for deep processing. This enables us to deliver expanded metal products manufactured according to customers' detailed specifications.
Leveling
Our advanced leveling process ensures flat and uniform mesh surfaces with precise opening dimensions. Equipped with several CNC leveling machines and supported by an experienced team, we maintain strict quality standards to deliver reliable and high-performance products.


Surface treatment
Our surface treatment capabilities include galvanizing, powder coating, anodizing, and PVDF coating. These processes improve corrosion resistance, increase durability, and provide a visually appealing finish for architectural applications.
