Metal Fibres and Metallic Yarns
category
Metal fibres and metallic yarns are produced from stainless steel, copper, aluminium, silver, and titanium by drawing, bundle drawing, shaving, or electroforming into fibres of 1 to 80 micrometre diameter that are processed into staple, continuous filament, or wrapped metallic yarns for integration into textile structures providing electrical conductivity, electromagnetic shielding, antimicrobial activity, or decorative metallic aesthetics.
Role
Provides the electrically and thermally conductive inorganic fibre component that enables smart textiles, EMI shielding garments, resistive heating fabrics, antistatic workwear, and decorative metallic apparel fabrics, with metal fibre selection governed by the required combination of electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, textile processability, and cost for each specific functional application.
