Nickel Mesh Anode
Nickel mesh anode has the advantages of high current efficiency, low material cost and excellent corrosion resistance. It is applicable to most electrolytes, including alkaline, acidic, and chloride solutions. Nickel mesh anodes can be formed into a variety of shapes and sizes, allowing them to be used in a wide range of applications. They also offer good control over the current density of the anode, allowing for precise control of the process.
Nickel Mesh Anode Advantages
- Lightweight and Energy savings
- Good resistance to corrosion in acid and alkali conditions.
- In acid, alkaline, and neutral salt solutions, nickel mesh shows good resistance, but in oxidizing salt solutions, severe attacks will occur.
- Nickel wire mesh is virtually immune to intergranular attack above 315℃, chlorates must be kept to a minimum.
- It is resistant to all dry gases at room temperature and in dry chlorine and hydrogen chloride may be used in temperatures up to 550℃
- Nickel expanded mesh gives an outstanding key for adhesion and coatings, strength for reinforcement, and shaping capabilities, which made it the ideal candidate for use in fuel batteries. Nickel expanded mesh can be combined easily with other materials to contribute to a finished component.
- Outstanding mechanical strength (Anti-ravel and Flexible)

Flattened Expanded Metal V.S Standard Expanded Metal
1.1 Expanded Metal Terminology:
1.1.1 bond, n-the solid intersection of two strands.
1.1.2 camber, n-the bow of a side or edge from end to end from a straight line.
1.1.3 diamonds, n-open area of metal after expanding.
Most expanded metal open areas or patterns are uniform diamond-shaped, but may also be hexagonal, louvered, asymmetric, square, or other shapes, or combinations thereof.
1.1.4 edge configuration, n-refers to the edge condition of a sheet may they be closed diamonds (bonded), or open diamonds (random) produced by shearing.
1.1.5 expanded metal, n-a rigid sheet of metal that is simultaneously been slit and stretched creating an open diamond pattern.
1.1.6 flattened, v (F)-expanded metal that has been cold rolled after expansion.
1.1.7 flattening, adv-the process of producing flattened expanded metal.
1.1.8 grating, n-expanded metal that is produced from heavier sheets.
1.1.9 levelness, n-(flatness of sheet), sheets shall be free from waves or buckets that are in excess of 1–1/2 in. from a plane surface.
1.1.10 LWD, n-nominal dimension, Long Way of the Diamond.
1.1.11 LWO, n-Long Way of the Opening.
1.1.12 regular-raised-standard, n-(R) expanded metal as it comes from the press. The strands and bonds are set at a uniform angle to the plane of the sheet.
1.1.13 SWD, n-nominal dimension, Short Way of the Diamond.
1.1.14 SWO, n-Short Way of the Opening.
1.1.15 shearing, n-cutting the sheet to a specific size or tolerance.
1.1.16 squareness, n-the dimensional variance a side and edge are out of square.
1.1.17 strand thickness, n-thickness of the base metal.
1.1.18 strand thickness, n, and strand width, n-can be varied to create different expanded metal products for different applications.
1.1.19 strand width, n-amount of material fed through top and bottom dies to produce one strand.
1.1.20 taper, n-edges of a sheet that deviates from parallel
