The Fiber of stainless is a textile Fiber pertaining to the technical Fibers. It can be used in very many fields such as the Transport, the Industrie, the Filtration.

Principle of manufacture

Rolling and drawing

A bar of Steel of a Diameter ranging between 6 and 10 mm is stretched hot to arrive at a filament of 1 mm approximately in diameter.

Assembly

On this level, one gathers several hundreds to see several thousands of these filament previously stretched.

Sleeving

This operation consists of the setting out of tube (out of mild steel or Cuivre) of these filaments.

Rolling and drawing

In the same way that previously, the tube is stretched and what it contains to obtain a filament of 1 mm diameter approximately (drawing depends naturally on the smoothness of fibers which one wants to obtain with final).

Scouring

Thanks to a passage in a bath of acid, one eliminates the tube to release the very fine filaments which it contains (about ten microns/filament).

Setting on reels

After rinsing and drying, the fiber cable thus obtained is rolled up on reels of ten kilos each one.

Uses

Once these filaments rolled up on their support, they can be put in composition in quasi very produced Textile S. Indeed, their smoothness, in general accounting for 8,12 and 22 microns (as an indication the diameter of a human hair is in the neighborhoods of 20-25 microns), allow a broad panel of use: once transformed into fibers by process of Cracking, this Stainless steel can be mixed with all others textile Fibers technical or not, but also to be used into pure. Then, one can make wire of it, then Tricot S, fabrics, cords, Tresse S, Sangle S, Non woven S, etc

Applications

Of share their physical properties these fibers have three principal destinations:

• the heating textile (Clothing S of the extreme, Automobile, etc)
• Textile anti-static (Glove S, conveying belts, industrial clothing, filtration, etc)
• protections thermal and held with the very high temperatures (Insulation, Glassmaking, hot gas filtration, etc)
