Benefits of metal mesh explained

Expanded metal mesh has the reputation for being versatile, economical and incredibly durable, which is why more and more industries are recognising its value for a multitude of applications.   Expanded Metal is currently working on a variety of new product development partnerships with Design Engineers and major manufacturers across  automotive and aerospace industries.  Although expanded metal mesh has been in existence for decades, the benefits of this versatile and underutilised material have remained largely unrecognised, therefore The Expanded Metal Company has compiled a list of the little known facts about metal mesh to assist the Design Engineer.

1 High Strength to Weight Ratio
Independent research conducted by Teesside University confirms that expanded metal mesh can be stronger than the equivelant solid metal.

2 Excellent Conductivity
Combined with low resistance expanded metal is an excellent conductor of electricity, magnetic flux and thermal heat. Expanded metal is used extensively in fuel cells and battery packs utilising  titanium, copper and nickel meshes.
