Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9821004A1] A process for making fine metallic fibers comprising coating (11) a plurality of metallic wires with a coating material. The plurality of metallic wires are jacketed (12) with a tube for providing a cladding. The cladding is drawn (13) for reducing the outer diameter thereof. The cladding is removed (14) to provide a remainder comprising the coating material with a plurality of metallic wires contained therein. The remainder is drawn (15) for reducing the diameter thereof and for reducing the corresponding diameter of the plurality of metallic wires contained therein. The coating material is removed (16) for providing the plurality of fine metallic fibers.
