Titanium Mesh & Expanded Titanium is used for building electrodes, anodes, current collectors and corrosion-proof screens from expanded and woven titanium mesh. ASTM B265 is the reference cited for it on drawings, datasheets and purchase orders.
What ASTM B265 Means for Titanium Mesh & Expanded Titanium
The dimensions in the table below are supplied to suit ASTM B265. Where the standard sets requirements for the finished appliance, device or system, compliance testing of that assembly stays with its manufacturer; we supply the metal mesh part to the drawing and can provide material certificates and dimensional reports with the shipment.
Titanium Mesh & Expanded Titanium Dimensions
| Size | Opening (mm) | Strand (mm) | Thickness (mm) | Open area (%) | Grade |

Specifying Titanium Mesh & Expanded Titanium Beyond the Standard
- Form: Expanded titanium for rigidity, woven titanium for fine openings.
- Grade: Gr1 for forming and electrodes, Gr2 for strength.
- Coating: Bare, platinized, or MMO (iridium/ruthenium) for anode duty.
When Titanium Mesh & Expanded Titanium Is Not the Right Choice
Not for hydrofluoric acid or dry chlorine gas, which attack titanium.
