Metallikuitu

Metallikuitu, known in English as metal fiber, refers to extremely fine strands of metal. These fibers are produced through various manufacturing processes, often involving drawing metal through dies to create very thin filaments. The diameter of metallikuitu can range from a few micrometers to several millimeters, depending on the application and the specific metal used. Common metals include stainless steel, copper, aluminum, and brass.

The properties of metallikuitu vary greatly depending on the metal composition, diameter, and surface treatment. They often exhibit high tensile strength, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity. Their flexibility allows them to be woven into fabrics, incorporated into composites, or used as fillers in various materials.

Metallikuitu finds application in a diverse range of industries. In textiles, they can be used to create electrically conductive fabrics for smart clothing, antistatic materials, or to enhance the durability and fire resistance of certain garments. In composite materials, metal fibers can reinforce plastics and ceramics, improving their mechanical strength and thermal properties. They are also used in filtration systems, metal-based catalysts, and as conductive elements in electronic components. The precise characteristics and manufacturing methods are tailored to meet the specific demands of each end-use.
