Introduction
70 years after their first industrialized use, metal fibers are now widely produced and available in a wide range of different alloys and product forms. Their increasing use in industrial applications is driven by a combination of high electrical conductivity and excellent high thermal corrosion resistance. They offer a proven technology with a huge variety of possible applications that contribute to a cleaner, safer, quieter and more comfortable world.
This white paper provides an overview of the production processes involved in metal fiber production, the various types of metal fiber products, their key properties and a short summary of the main application segments.
