Product Detail
Product Introduction
Titanium expanded metal mesh is made by slitting and stretching titanium sheet into a continuous diamond or other opening pattern. No metal is punched out: the resulting one-piece network has strands and bonds instead of intersecting wires or solid-sheet ligaments. Purchasing therefore depends on SWD and LWD, strand width and thickness, overall thickness, raised or flattened condition, sheet orientation, cut size and edge condition.
Product Specifications
| Product | Titanium Expanded Metal Mesh | Grade | Titanium Grade 1, Grade 2 or specified alloy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | Expanded titanium is normally drawing- or schedule-controlled. The RFQ should identify the titanium sheet grade and source specification, SWD/LWD measurement convention, strand width and thickness, raised or flattened form, open area, panel size, orientation, edge treatment and tolerances. | Size & Form | Expanded metal mesh in sheets, cut panels or rolls as feasible; exact opening, section dimensions, width and length by RFQ |
| Tolerance | Drawing or order-defined opening, wire/strand/sheet size, pitch, open area, cut size, edge and flatness requirements | Supply Condition | Clean mill-finish sheets, panels or rolls with edge protection, interleaving and export packing |
| Inspection | MTC and heat traceability, SWD and LWD, strand width and thickness, bond condition, overall thickness, open area when specified, opening orientation, panel dimensions, flatness, edges and surface condition. | Documents | MTC, heat/lot traceability and agreed inspection reports |

Product Packaging
Sheet and plate surfaces are interleaved or wrapped as required, protected at edges and secured on pallets or in export cases with grade, heat and dimensional identification. Typical export packaging for the same physical product form is shown below; final packing is confirmed for each order.
Application Scenarios
Chemical filtration and separation
Material grade, dimensions, condition and inspection must be matched to the application requirements.
Electrochemical electrodes and current collectors
Material grade, dimensions, condition and inspection must be matched to the application requirements.
Marine, aerospace and industrial screening or guards
Material grade, dimensions, condition and inspection must be matched to the application requirements.
FAQ
Is expanded titanium mesh woven from wire?
No. It is produced from sheet that is slit and stretched, leaving an integral network of strands and bonds without woven intersections.
What do SWD and LWD mean?
They describe the short way and long way of the diamond opening. The RFQ must state the measurement convention and orientation in the finished panel.
When should flattened expanded metal be specified?
Specify flattened form when a lower and more uniform profile is needed. Rolling changes overall thickness, opening geometry and sometimes open area, so raised and flattened material are not interchangeable.
