Sheet Metal Components
Chemfil supplies a range of expanded and perforated metal sheets for a wide variety of applications . We can provide such metal sheets as per the customer drawing, specification, thickness, GSM etc.
Expanded Metal Sheets
Expanded metal is manufactured through a meticulous process that involves cutting and stretching metal sheets, transforming them into a mesh structure. The primary metals used for this purpose include aluminum, stainless steel, carbon steel, and other alloys. The process begins with flat metal sheets that are subjected to slitting, creating uniform slits without completely separating the material. Following this, the sheets are stretched, expanding the slits and forming the characteristic diamond-shaped openings.
Expanded metal is a type of sheet metal which has been cut and stretched to form a regular pattern (often diamond-shaped) of mesh like material.
Expanded metal has evolved into a versatile and indispensable material across various industries. From its unique manufacturing process to its applications in construction, manufacturing, automotive, security, and HVAC, expanded metal continues to prove its worth. As industries evolve and embrace sustainability, expanded metal’s durability and recallability position it as a material of choice for the future. Whether used for structural reinforcement, decorative elements, or security applications, expanded metal stands as a testament to the innovation and adaptability of materials in the modern world.
Perforated Sheet Metal
Perforated metal is any type of sheet metal that has a pattern of holes punched into it. This makes it useful for controlling the passage of air, light, liquids, and even sound. Perforated sheet metal is most commonly used for ventilation and filtering.
Sometimes referred to as mesh or grated, perforated metal is lightweight, versatile, durable, and aesthetically pleasing. It is easily powdercoat painted, as well as welded.
Perforated metal components manage a demanding balancing act between technical, functional and optical requirements in numerous technical applications.
