6mm Round Hole Aluminium Perforated Mesh Sheets – 9mm Pitch – 1.5mm Thick

Description

Aluminium Perforated Mesh Sheets

Perforated aluminium mesh sheets are produced by punching flat aluminium plate with a specific pattern. The customer’s requirement for metal for cosmetic or application purposes drives this decision.

This mesh sheet, crafted from aluminium, is characterised by its round holes and triangular pattern arrangement. The holes, precisely 6mm in diameter, are set with a pitch of 9mm, meaning there’s a 9mm distance from the start of one hole to the beginning of the next. This measurement takes into account both the hole size and the space between them. With a thickness of 1.5mm, this flat sheet offers a blend of lightness due to its aluminium composition and sturdiness courtesy of its thickness.

The triangular pattern is not only visually appealing but also utilises space efficiently. It contributes to the sheet’s uniformity and consistent strength distribution, making it versatile for a range of applications. Given its aluminium construction, the mesh sheet resists rust, ensuring durability even in moisture-rich environments.

Potential uses for this mesh sheet are varied. They can serve as decorative elements for architectural designs, act as filters or screens in various industries, and even find application in crafting or DIY projects. The nature of aluminium, being lightweight yet robust, ensures ease of handling and manipulation, a factor that is beneficial for both professional and personal use. Whether you’re looking to integrate it into a large-scale industrial project or a small home DIY task, these mesh sheets offer reliability, aesthetic appeal, and the durability inherent to aluminium.

We also offer a massive range of stainless steel perforated metal sheet options from immediate stock. In order to produce stainless steel perforated metal sheet, flat sheet metal is punched with round or square holes. Stainless steel is a more expensive option, but this is due to increased corrosion resistance and longevity.

FAQs For This Product

How Does The Mesh Sheet Interact With Radio Frequencies Or EMF?

Aluminium mesh sheets can act as a barrier or shield against radio frequencies (RF) and electromagnetic fields (EMF). The principle behind this is the Faraday cage effect. As radio frequencies or electromagnetic waves strike the aluminium mesh, the free electrons in the aluminium move. Electron movement cancels out incoming waves, preventing them from passing through the mesh. Therefore, aluminium mesh sheets can effectively block or attenuate many RF and EMF signals, especially if the mesh holes are smaller than the incoming signals’ wavelength. Aluminium mesh is useful in applications requiring RF or EMF shielding, such as electronics enclosures or specialized architectural designs. The effectiveness of the shielding depends on factors like the mesh’s hole size, the thickness of the sheet, and the frequency encountered.

Copper mesh is the most suited for this purpose however. We recently wrote a blog about copper’s suitiblility in this area.

Is The Aluminium Mesh Sheet Suitable For Automotive Applications?

Yes, the aluminium mesh sheet is suitable for automotive applications. Aluminium, given its combination of lightness and strength, is a desirable material in the automotive industry. Here are some points to consider:

1. Weight Savings: Aluminium is considerably lighter than traditional automotive materials like steel. Using aluminium mesh can help in reducing the overall weight of the vehicle, which in turn can improve fuel efficiency and performance.
2. Corrosion Resistance: Aluminium naturally forms a protective oxide layer, which can resist rust and corrosion. This property is especially valuable in automotive applications, where components are often exposed to the elements.
3. Flexibility: Aluminium mesh sheets can be shaped and bent into various forms, making them versatile for different parts and fittings within a vehicle.
4. Thermal Conductivity: Aluminium has good thermal conductivity, making it suitable for applications that require heat dissipation, such as radiator grills or vents.
5. Aesthetics: Aluminium mesh can be used decoratively in cars, especially for grills, vents, or custom modifications, offering a sleek and modern appearance.
6. Cost-Efficiency: While aluminium can be costlier than some materials, its benefits in terms of weight savings and longevity can offset the initial investment over time.

How Do Temperature Fluctuations Affect The Aluminium Mesh Sheet?

Due to aluminium’s inherent properties as a metal, temperature fluctuations can have several effects on an aluminium mesh sheet. As a result of temperature changes, aluminium expands and contracts. Aluminium mesh expands when heated, and contracts when cooled. Mesh sheets can experience dimensional changes due to thermal expansion and contraction. Over time, mechanical stresses or warping may occur if the sheet is constrained or affixed tightly in an environment with frequent temperature changes.

Aside from aluminum’s corrosion resistance, significant temperature fluctuations, especially in the presence of moisture, can increase condensation risk. If contaminants are present, condensation can lead to localized corrosion.

In addition, temperature can affect the rate of oxidation of aluminium. Despite providing corrosion protection, this oxide layer can be compromised at very high temperatures.

Due to the difference in electrochemical potential of aluminium and another metal, temperature fluctuations can exacerbate galvanic corrosion if aluminium mesh sheet is used in contact with another metal.
