1.Energy storage – Nickel and copper micro expanded mesh serve as current collectors and electrode substrates in lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, and fuel cells, providing a high surface area with minimal electrical resistance.
2.EMI/RFI shielding – The uniform openings and solid metal construction create effective Faraday cages for electronic enclosures, gaskets, and optical windows.
3.Filtration and separation – Used as support screens and filter media for high-purity gas and liquid filtration, where precise pore size and mechanical robustness are essential.
4.Medical devices – Fine stainless steel or titanium mesh is used in surgical implants, stents, and drug delivery systems, leveraging its biocompatibility and controllable porosity.
5.Speaker grilles and acoustics – The aesthetic, snag-free surface of flattened micro mesh makes it popular for premium audio equipment and microphone covers.
6.Precision optics and encoders – Highly uniform micro openings are used in light collimation, encoder discs, and scientific instruments.
7.Aerospace and defence – Lightweight diffusion screens, flame arrestors, and vibration-damping layers benefit from the material's strength and controlled permeability.
