Precision Expanded Mesh

Niles Expanded Metals created Niles Expanded Technologies (NExT), the engineering and manufacturing facility to provide precision and ISO quality expanded metals and synthetic materials. NExT Engineering and Technologies are registered to ISO 9001:2008, and our NExT Aerospace division is registered to AS9100. Both ISO certifications ensure that our customers can purchase products with confidence and receive unparalleled customer service and support to meet or exceed expectations.  Request A Quote  >>        NExT manufactures precision expanded materials in most ductile metals (Micromesh) and polymers (Polymesh). Micromesh is available in thicknesses from 0.04mm (0.0016 inches) to 3.0mm (0.12 inches) in coil or sheet, with the thicker materials available in widths up to 1500mm (60 inches) and the thinner materials available with up to 310 per square mm (2000 openings per square inch). Micromesh is available in diamond, round, square and hexagonal patterns and can be modified through specialized manufacturing methods including the increasing or decreasing of open areas without the need to change tooling. In addition, Micromesh can be customized with solid or ribbon sections incorporated in the expanding process to enhance the material’s appearance.        How expanded metal makes airplanes safer to fly Video AeroMesh Lightning Strike Production Video AeroMesh Brochure (PDF) Available in most polymers, NExT Polymesh precision-expanded plastics from NExT are used in filtration applications requiring membrance support, purification and separation. Other uses encompass the following industries: electronics, aerospace, medical, food packaging, automotive and additional mesh and perforated plastics when high precision, mechanical and electrical properties are required.     Micromesh from NExT is used in batteries, electronics, aerospace, medical, packaging and anywhere high precision, mechanical and electrical properties or EMI/RFI shielding capabilities are required. Metals we frequently produce include stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, silver, copper, brass, nickel alloys, mild steel and zinc. If our extensive list of stock patterns doesn’t meet your project requirements, our engineering design team will work with you to custom fit a solution to meet the unique characteristics of your particular application. We offer value added processes that include shearing, blanking, slitting, roll forming, coating, cleaning and annealing. We also offer and develop systems for sub assembly, packaging, stocking or any product or processing issues.    Aluminum Material Specifications   NExT Aerospace Product Code     AL66     AL37   Width: ± .4% MM 930 930 Inches 36.61 36.61 Areal Weight: ± 10% gsm 66 137 Lbs/Ft² 0.016 0.028 SWD: ± 6% MM 0.9 1 Inches 0.035 0.04 LWD: ± 5% MM 2 2 Inches 0.08 0.08 Thickness: ± 10% MM .051 .15 Inches 0.002 0.006 % Open Area: ± 5%   70 60 Resistance mΩ: LWD     SWD     Flattened Aluminum Material Specifications   NExT Aerospace Product Code     AL66     AL78   Width: ± .4% MM 930 930 Inches 36.61 36.61 Areal Weight: ± 10% gsm 66 78 Lbs/Ft² 0.013 0.016 SWD: ± 6% MM 0.9 1 Inches 0.035 0.039 LWD: ± 5% MM 2 2 Inches 0.08 0.08 Thickness: ± 10% MM 0.051 0.102 Inches .002 .004 % Open Area: ± 5%   50 68 Resistance mΩ: LWD     SWD     Copper Material Specifications   NExT Aerospace Product Code     CU73     CU107     CU142     CU195     CU815   Width: ± .4% MM 930 930 930 930 630 Inches 36.61 36.61 36.61 36.61 24.8 Areal Weight: ± 7.7% gsm 73 107 ± 142 ± 195 ± 815 ± 4.3 Lbs/Ft² 0.015 0.022 ± 0.029 ± 0.040 ± 0.168 ± 4.3 SWD: ± 6% MM 1.23 1.4 1.4 1.4 1.55 Inches 0.057 0.055 0.057 0.055 0.061 LWD: ± 5% MM 2.54 2.54 2.54 2.54 3 Inches 0.100 0.100 0.100 0.100 0.120 Thickness: ± 10% MM 0.102 0.127 0.152 0.152 0.508 Inches .004 .005 .006 .006 .002 % Open Area: ± 8%   80 76 79 65 50 Resistance mΩ: LWD ≤ 3         SWD ≤ 12.30         Flattened Copper Specifications   NExT Aerospace Product Code     CU73F     CU107F     CU142F     CU195F     CU815F   Width: ± .4% MM 930 930 930 930 630 Inches 36.61 36.61 36.61 36.61 24.8 Areal Weight: ± 7.7% gsm 73 107 142 195 815 Lbs/Ft² 0.015 0.022 0.029 0.040 0.168 SWD: ± 6% MM 1.23 1.4 1.45 1.4 1.55 Inches 0.057 0.055 0.057 0.055 0.061 LWD: ± 5% MM 2.54 2.54 2.54 2.54 3 Inches 0.100 0.100 0.100 0.100 0.120 Thickness: ± 10% MM 0.051 0.051 0.76 0.76 0.254 Inches .002 .002 .003 .003 .010 % Open Area: ± 8%   80 76 79 65 50 Resistance mΩ: LWD 3.12 ≤ 2.1 ≤ 1.6 ≤ 1.21 ≤ 0.6 SWD 12 ≤ 6.3 ≤ 4.8 ≤ 3.30 ≤ 1.8                 NEXT Aerospace AS-1174a Certificate of Registration (PDF) NEXT Aerospace AS-1174b Certificate of Registration (PDF) IPCA Certification (PDF) Cytec Audit (PDF)
