Aluminum expanded metal is made from solid aluminum sheet that has been simultaneously slit and stretched, forming non-raveling mesh with uniform diamond shaped openings. It is lighter but more rigid than an equal weight of solid aluminum sheet. It won't unravel and could hold its shape for many years under normal circumstances. What makes aluminum expanded metal popular is that it's economical and versatile.
Aluminum is silver-colored, ductile and low density that finds use in a wide variety of commercial applications. It can be strengthened by adding appropriate alloying elements such as Cu, Mg, Mn, etc. 3003 aluminum is the most widely used for it has good corrosion resistance and a highly polished finish, which makes it an attractive choice for decoration applications. Common uses of 303 aluminum expanded metal involve fire screen, ventilation, security mesh, ceiling tiles, filter screen, etc. Other types of aluminum alloys include 5005, 5052, etc.

Materials:
Aluminum: pure aluminum plate, aluminum alloy plate(1050, 5052, 5056)
Surface Treatment: hot-dipped, electrol galvanized, pvc-coated.
Lightweight. It is the most important feature of aluminum expanded metal sheet. The lightweight expanded metal sheet is widely used in the decorative applications.
Rigid and solid. Though the aluminum expanded metal is lightweight, but it is still solid no matter in the structure or in the service life.
Corrosion and rust resistance. The aluminum expanded metal sheet will form a layer of oxidation film, which can prevent expanded metal sheet from corrosion and rust.
Economical. The aluminum expanded metal sheet has better corrosion and rust resistance but the cost is lower than the stainless steel expanded metal sheet, so it is the economical choice.
Various colors for choice. The aluminum expanded metal sheet can be coated in various colors, including red, white, golden and any other colors you want. This make it be used in more applications.
The openings formed in fabricating process allow air, sound, light and heat to pass through. The decorative patterns are mainly used for aesthetic purposes such as ceiling, stadium partitions and shelves. Aluminum expanded metal is versatile, and easy found in the following applications:
Filter screens.
Building cladding.
Bird screens.
Partitions / enclosures.
Ventilation parts for air conditioners.
Louvers.
Metal cabinet shelves.
Amusement equipment.
Security mesh of doors and windows.
Expanded metal should be packed firmly and securely.When packing, expanded metal appears in roll type and flat type
