Hot Rolled Flattened Expanded Metal - .75 #9
Hot Rolled Flattened Expanded Metal - .75 #9
This .75 #9 flattened expanded metal is a 4' x 8' sheet of A36-grade hot rolled steel. The process of slitting, stretching, and cold rolling creates a smooth, rigid panel with a high strength-to-weight ratio. It's weldable and ideal for industrial flooring. In stock Los Angeles.
- A36 Hot Rolled Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Base Material
- 58,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Strength-to-Weight Ratio
Hot rolled flattened expanded metal is made by slitting and stretching an A36 steel sheet, then cold rolling it to create a smooth surface. This process forms a continuous diamond-patterned mesh with no welds, delivering a greater strength-to-weight ratio than solid plate. The flattened surface is easy to clean and weld, making it a versatile choice for fabrication projects.
The .75 #9 specification features a robust strand thickness suitable for medium-duty applications. It is strong enough for industrial walkways, catwalks, and trailer ramps, while also being functional for machine guards, security screens, and architectural infill panels where visibility and airflow are key.
