Stainless steel Perforated Metal

Perforated metal (also known, depending on thickness, as perforated sheet, perforated plate, stamping plates, or perforated screen) is made through the metal stamping and sheet metal manufacturing process. Sheet metal materials include steel, aluminium, stainless steel, bronze, brass, titanium, and so on. It may be sheet or plate with round holes punched in it or expanded metal.


Technical terms

Staggered Pattern: Holes are aligned in staggered or nested orientation. A staggered perforation pattern can provide the highest open area.
Straight Pattern: Perforated holes are aligned in straight rows and columns.
Unfinished Ends: The end perforation pattern is not solid and appears rough and incomplete at the end of the sheet.
Margins: Area on the side, ends, or inside the perforated sheet without perforations
Safe Side Margins: This type of margin is achieved by perforating the material all the way up to the edge but not on or over the edge
Perforated Tool/Tooling: Interchangeable die sets: Pins/punches, die plate, stripper plate, and punch holder used on the perforating presses to perforate the various perforation patterns
Hole Size: Diameter measurement of the perforation shape; Measurement from side to side
Finished Ends: The end perforation pattern is solid and appears uniform or complete at the end of the sheet
