Steel Expanded Metal Flattened 3/4″ #9 is a heavy-duty flattened expanded steel mesh commonly used for barbecue grills, smoker grates, cooking surfaces, and industrial fabrication. Manufactured from carbon steel that has been slit and stretched into a continuous diamond-shaped pattern, this expanded metal offers excellent strength, durability, and an open design that allows heat, smoke, and airflow to circulate.
The 3/4″ diamond pattern and #9 designation provide a strong, rigid mesh suitable for fabricating BBQ grill grates, smoker racks, fire pit accessories, and custom cooking equipment. Its open construction promotes heat circulation while providing a durable surface for supporting food, cookware, and grilling accessories.
Unlike standard raised expanded metal, flattened expanded metal undergoes an additional rolling process that creates a smoother, more uniform surface. This flattened profile makes it particularly popular for custom barbecue grills and smokers where a relatively even cooking surface is desired.
As an uncoated carbon steel product, this expanded metal requires proper cleaning, seasoning, and maintenance when used for grilling. Avoid galvanized or painted coatings on surfaces exposed to direct cooking heat or food contact.
