Expanded metal sheets (5) are used to produce tubular filters (13). The expanded metal sheet (5) has a multiplicity of openings arranged to reduce nesting when the sheet (5) is rolled on itself. The filters (13) have a substantially cylindrical outer surface (25), and comprise a circumferential groove (3). Among other things, the filters can be used in automobile airbag inflators to capture slag (21) and absorb heat produced by the inflator's explosive charge.
