Generally, this kind of mesh that is easy to confuse is steel mesh and steel mesh.

The difference between expanded metal mesh and steel mesh is that expanded metal mesh is processed by stamping and cutting machine from a plate: the steel mesh is made of wire, and the steel wire is woven by a weaving machine.

The expanded metal mesh is made of sheet metal, so its wire stems are connected, and the steel mesh is woven, so there is no connection in essence.

In terms of hole type: the expanded metal mesh is basically a diamond-shaped hole, and the hole type of the steel mesh is square or rectangular due to the preparation.

In terms of bearing capacity: the expanded metal mesh is processed by plate, and steel mesh is wire rod. Relatively speaking, the expanded metal mesh has a larger bearing capacity.

Uses: Expanded metal mesh and steel mesh are generally used in construction and protection. However, the bearing capacity of expanded metal mesh is relatively large, so the expanded metal mesh is mostly used in heavy machinery pedals, escalators, walkways, etc.
