- the meshes of the expanded metal make it possible to disturb the flow of the first fluid and are thus intended to increase the efficiency of a heat exchange with a second circulating fluid, for example, in tubes in contact with the fin.
- the metal strip including the expanded metal portion is further lighter than the solid metal strip.
- the fin of the invention also has the advantage of comprising at least one louver for deflecting the flow of the first fluid.

- the fin can thus, for example, be interposed between two tubes or two heat exchanger plates. It can also be placed inside a tube, between two of its walls.
- said upper and / or lower folds are full. In other words, said upper and / or lower folds are devoid of meshes. Brazing between the folds and the tubes can thus be facilitated.

- the louvers are arranged, in particular, on all the flat walls of the fin.
- the meshes of the flap extend in a first mean plane, said first mid-plane forming an angle between 0 ° and 35 ° with a second middle plane of the plane wall on which the flap is located.
