Frequently Asked Questions
Q
What is micro expanded metal?
Micro expanded metal is a precision mesh manufactured by slitting and stretching thin metal foils or sheets simultaneously, creating continuous diamond or custom-shaped openings without joints, welds, or loose strands.
Q
What materials are commonly used for micro expanded mesh?
It is typically produced from aluminum, copper, nickel, titanium, stainless steel, and silver, depending on specific electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and thermal management requirements.
Q
What are the key industrial applications of micro expanded metal?
Major applications include battery current collectors, EMI/RFI shielding, aerospace lightning strike protection, fine filtration systems, acoustics, and fuel cell electrodes.
Q
How does micro expanded metal differ from woven wire mesh?
Unlike woven mesh, micro expanded metal is formed from a single homogeneous piece of material, meaning it cannot unravel, possesses superior electrical and thermal continuity, and offers higher structural integrity at lower weights.
Q
Can opening dimensions and sheet thickness be customized?
Yes, strand width, mesh thickness, Long Way of Opening (LWO), Short Way of Opening (SWO), and surface finishes (standard raised or flattened) can be precision-engineered to meet project specifications.
