All micro expanded metals are available in 2D (flattened type) and 3D (raised type) designs including diamond, square, round and hexagonal patterns.

Rhombus/Diamond

Classical and the most popular micro expanded metal mesh openings.

Square

Specially design for applications that need a large free cross-section.

Hexagon

Supplies perfect balance between material and carrying capacity.

Circle

It can perfectly replace the perforated metal sheets.

• Slit and expand technology make the material without wasting and it can add strength and rigidity to the micro expanded metal.

  One piece structure will not ravel under normal circumstances.

  Excellent physical and chemical properties for specific applications, including lightning strike protection, EMI/RFI shielding, acoustic applications.

  Micro expanded metal can be manufactured from various alloy materials, including stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, silver, copper, brass, nickel and other alloy materials for different applications.

  Micro expanded metal is available in a variety of 2D and 3D designs including hexagonal, round, diamond and square patterns.

  Open areas of fine expanded metal are flexible to increase and decrease through specialized manufacturing method.

  Aircraft Lightning Striking Protection

  Carbon fiber composite material has become the main material of aircraft. But the composite material is a poor conductor of the current and easy to be damaged in the lightning strikes. Micro expanded metal covers on the surface of composite material to dissipates the lightning strikes, prevent lightning striking damage, supply protection to composite material, and extend aircraft critical components' safe.

  It is widely used in the aerospace for aircraft manufacturing at fuselage, wing, engine compartment, flaps, wing tip, even the rotating blades and body parts of the helicopter.

  According to the SAE ARP 5414 standard, the aircraft surface is divided into three zones: zone 1A, Zone 1B-1C-2A-2B and zone 3. and we will recommend the different types of micro expanded metal mesh for different zones for the best performance.

  • Zone 1B and 2B – double layer of 195 g/m² or 420 g/m² copper mesh. Because the continuous current will enlarge the damage area and deepen the damage depth.

  • Zone 1A – 195 g/m² copper mesh for protection.

  • Zone 1C – 195 g/m² or 140 g/m² copper mesh

  • Zone 2A – 107 g/m² copper mesh

  • Zone 3 – 78 g/m² copper/aluminum mesh

  

  Apart from the above specifications, we will manufacture and custom the micro expanded metal in aluminum or copper material for your specific requirements and model.

  Titanium Expanded Metal Mesh – Substrate Material of Anode

  Electrolyzer is consist of cell, anode and cathode, most of which are separated by a diaphragm. The anodes of electrolyzer is Mixed Metal Oxide (MMO) electrodes. They are made by a substrate with several kinds of metal oxides. The working principle of electrolyzer is use electricity to electrolyze water into hydrogen and oxygen material. Nowadays, the electrolyzer is developing towards large capacity and low energy consumption and it is widely used in chlor-alkali and hydrogen and oxygen production industry.
