What style of metal is this called?

[iwrock]

The mesh/type of metal that's in the middle of this headache rack:



I've searched for perforated metal, and was only able to find circles and random shapes cut out. I then searched for expanded metal, and got metal with the little holes in it...

Need to find something similar to this for the headache rack I'm building for my truck. I haven't really been able to find any metal like the above picture, but am thinking I'm not searching for the right type of metal... (if that makes sense!)

[INSIDIOUS]

Expanded, expanded mesh

Looks like expanded but it's like the widest expansion I've ever seen.

I think the technical term for it is squiggle-squaggle metal mesh.

Is that one welded chain link?

[jplinville]

It's not steel, it's aluminum. Aluminum has a higher stretch rate than that of steel, enabling larger expansions.
