An expanded metal tube is a cylindrical structure made from a sheet of metal that has been cut and stretched to form a mesh-like pattern of interconnected strands. This process creates a tube with a diamond or hexagonal pattern of openings, which gives it unique characteristics such as strength, rigidity, and a high strength-to-weight ratio.
