Titanium
expanded metal is made from titanium plates, sheets or coils that are
simultaneously slit and expanded in a cold drawn operation by automatic
expanded machines to form diamond shaped openings of uniform size and
thickness.
HEXON
supply flat or non-flat titanium expanded sheet in coiled form, or cut into
single piece according to your specific required size.
Applications
Because
of the characters of titanium, titanium expanded metal is mostly fabricated
into electrodes for chlorine extractions.
Besides,
titanium expanded metal sheet also are used in architectural and decorated
applications, because its light weight, good performance against corrosive medias
and further surface process by grating.
Terminology
Percent Open Area: The
amount of open area to determine the amount of light or air passage.
SWD: The distance from a point on
a bond to a corresponding point on the following bond measured across theShort Wayof
Design. This distance is also sometimes referred as "pitch SWD".
LWD: The distance from a point on a
bond to a corresponding point on the following bond measured across the Long
Way of Design. This distance is also sometimes referred as
"pitch LWD".
SWO: Short Wayof Opening, the distance
measured from the inside of the bond across to the inside of the bond SWD.
LWO: Long Way of Opening, the
distance measured from the inside of the bond across to the inside of
the bond LWD.
Bond: The intersection of two
strands and it is always the width of two strands.
Strand Thickness: Gauge thickness of
expanded metal.
Strand Width: Amount of metal fed
under dies to produce the expanded metal strand.
Overall Thickness: The
actual measurement of the thickness of the mesh measured at the bond.
Standard Expanded
Metal:
Also called regular, unflattened or raised expanded metal. Expanded metal as it
comes from the press. The strands and bonds are set at a uniform angle to the
plane of the sheet, adding strength and rigidity as well as a skid-resistant
surface.
Flattened: Standard expanded metal
that has been passed through a cold roll mill. The bonds and strands are turned
down to produce a smooth, flat surface. The flattening process reduces the
original gauge of the base metal, and the strand width increases slightly.
