## Overview

This Carbon Steel Flat Expanded Sheet features a 48" x 48" size with a 13-gauge thickness, offering exceptional strength, weldability, and wear resistance. Its unpolished mill finish provides a smooth, flat surface, making it ideal for a variety of applications in both industrial and DIY settings.

## Description

The carbon steel expanded sheet has a flat, unpolished (mill) surface. Carbon steel provides strength, hardness, weldability, and resistance to wear. The flat sheet has been rolled for a smooth, level surface.Expanded metal sheets are created by slitting and cold-forming metal as it expands in a press. This process creates diamond-shaped openings that are nominally measured the long way of the diamond (LWD) and the short way of the diamond (SWD). Raised, or standard, expanded sheets offer a skid-resistant surface and a high strength-to-weight ratio. Flat expanded sheets have been rolled for a smooth, level surface. Expanded metal sheets are measured by the percentage of open area, which is the ratio of open space to total space in a given area. A sheet with a larger percentage of open area contains less material than one with a smaller percentage.

## Customer Reviews

    Cheap, shipped well, sturdy enough to stand on
  

*by G***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 11, 2012*

I needed a sheet of expanded steel to weld into the bottom of my trailer tongue so I could throw my straps and tarps and etc there.  I had a hard time finding any locally, and the steel places wanted to sell me a 4x8 sheet for $120, which was way more than I needed.  I found this and shipping was pretty reasonable so I bought it.  Welded into my trailer tongue (which is a 48 long x36" triangle), I can stand in the center of it and I weigh 250 lbs.  I did weld a piece of 1/8" steel strap under it for support in the middle, as i know expanded steel will sag with weight and age if not supported. Here is a picture: https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s720x720/295162_10100515587944796_37500791_46476894_1008401223_n.jpg It came sewn into a giant sheet of thick cardboard which protected it well, so it had no bends or bent edges when it arrived.  I plan on using whats left to make a little charcoal bbq I can slide into my hitch when I go camping.

    Good buy but DANGEROUS
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 11, 2012*

Good quality and size for the price.  Only two complaints:Rusts very easily, more than expected.  I wouldn't use this outdoors at all, even with good paint (which is difficult to get inside the spaces with a good covering anyway).The edges are SHARP.  I mean if you try moving this thing and barely nick your skin, you will cut to the fat or the bone.  I slashed my leg and my arm badly enough to need stitches while moving to where I could paint it... it was so sharp I didn't even know how bad the cuts were until I was bleeding everywhere.  BE CAREFUL.

    I was a bit skeptical - VERY PLEASED
  

*by H***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 19, 2019*

Short review because I see this is no longer available. 10 gauge expanded carbon steel 48" x 48" for under $40 bucks and I think shipping was free. Thought it would be junk. NOT - it was better than I expected. Full 10 gauge expanded metal. Mill scale enough that it should hold off rust for awhile. Needed a 30" grate for a burner project of mine and it is perfect. Tougher than the grate on my expensive grill.
