Abstract
A method of depositing a solute (34) on a metal thread (4), comprising the steps of: depositing a liquid solution (3), formed from a volatile solvent and said solute (34), on the thread (4); and then rapidly raising the temperature of the thread (4) to a temperature above the vaporization temperature of the solvent so as to vaporize the solvent placed in contact with the surface of said thread (4) and to form vapour bubbles (32) which, by expanding, generate a pressure pulse that ejects the liquid (33) remaining on the periphery of the thread.
