Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for producing a non-rectangular noble metal net (5) on flat bed knitting machines, comprising the steps of providing noble metal wire or noble metal alloy wire⋅providing combustible⋅yarn⋅knitting a net (5) using noble metal wire or noble metal alloy wire for the reaction zone (7), wherein⋅combustible yarn is used for the offcut area (9), which is singed off or otherwise removed after the knitting process.
Claims7
A method for producing a non-rectangular noble metal net, comprising:
- providing noble metal or noble metal alloy wire;
- providing combustible yarn;
- knitting on a flat bed knitting machine a flat bed knitted net using the noble metal or noble metal alloy wire for formation of a reaction zone in the flat bed knitted net and the combustible yarn for formation of an offcut area in the flat bed knitted net, and removing the combustible yarn used in the formation of the offcut area after the knitting process on the flat bed knitting machine to convert the flat bed knitted net from a shape formed on the flat bed knitting machine to a different shape that defines the non-rectangular noble metal net.
