Manufacturing Process Flow of exmet brick reinforcement Mesh

The advanced production of exmet brick reinforcement mesh follows rigorous engineering standards, leveraging both traditional metallurgy and modern CNC fabrication protocols. Below is a visual diagram explaining the typical manufacturing stages:

Raw Material Selection: Certified galvanized steel coils or stainless steel (304/316) as per ISO 9001/14001 norms.
Precision Expanded Metal/CNC Slitting: Coils fed into expanding presses or CNC slitting lines to achieve a uniform, diamond/rhombic mesh structure. Mesh opening sizes: 6x18 mm to 26x76 mm (customizable).
Edge Trimming & Straightening: CNC straightening and guillotine cutting maintain roll tolerances within ±2mm.
Surface Treatment: Galvanization (≥60g/m² for outdoor grade), passivation, or powder coating for further anti-corrosion.
Quality Assurance: ASTM A82/ASTM A496 (US), BS 4483 (UK) and ISO 9001 testing – tensile, elongation, corrosion resistance, mesh uniformity, chemical stability checks.
Packing & Logistics: Steel or eco-fiber spools, anti-rust film, labeled to customer order with full traceability barcodes.

Key Technical Advantages

Uniform mesh size guarantees crack resistance and load distribution.
Galvanized or stainless steel mesh allows for use in high-moisture or chemically aggressive settings.
Pre-fabricated coils streamline site installation, reducing labor time by up to 27% (2019–2023 field surveys).

Expert FAQ: Brick Reinforcement Mesh Technology

Q1: What grades of stainless steel are recommended for extreme environments?

A1: exmet brick reinforcement meshes recommend 304 (standard) or 316/316L (for chloride/acidic areas) – both comply with ASTM A276/A240.

Q2: What is the difference between expanded metal mesh and welded mesh for brick reinforcement?

A2: Expanded (exmet) mesh is slit and stretched, offering better crack control and bond with mortar. Welded mesh is good for heavy structural walls, while exmet excels in flexibility and ease of handling.

Q3: Which test standards are mandatory for export projects?

A3: For Europe: EN 10223 / BS 4483; USA: ASTM A82, A951, A496; Other: ISO 9001/14001 for process, plus client-specific LLOYD’s or TUV certificates may be required.

Q4: What installation practices ensure maximum wall reinforcement performance?

A4: Mesh should be laid centrally in mortar beds, lapping adjacent runs by at least 75mm, and avoiding sharp bends; surface must be clean and flush. Follow ASTM E736 and local codes.

Q5: Is on-site shaping or cutting feasible?

A5: Yes, mesh is supplied in straightened coils or strips; on-site shearing is possible without risk to corrosion coating. Use approved mesh shears/cutters.

Q6: What typical projects specify brick reinforcing coil mesh?

A6: High-rise façade backup walls, schools, water reservoirs, seismic zone constructions, tall boundary wall segments (e.g., >3m).

Q7: How to select between galvanized and stainless steel mesh?

A7: Use galvanized for cost-sensitive or interior projects (C2–C3 environments as per ISO 9223). Stainless steel is essential for severe industrial/coastal/chemical exposure (C4–C5).
