Quotations[edit]
- 1848, Charles Vincent Walker, Electrotype Manipulation:
- If the action is carried on at an elevated temperature, the adhesion is greater, because the contraction of the expanded metal binds the film more closely.
- 1999 Engineering Life-Cycle Cost Comparison Study of Barrier Fencing Systems
- . . . the in-fill is, alternatively, steel panels, reinforced concrete panels, and steel mesh (e.g., chain link, expanded metal, and fine mesh).
