Abstract
A network of metal fibers includes a plurality of metal fibers fixed to one another; wherein at least some of the plurality of metal fibers have a length of 1.0 mm or more, a width of 100 μm or less and a thickness of 50 μm or less. A method includes producing a plurality of metal fibers by melt spinning; providing a loose network of metal fibers; and fixating the plurality of metal fibers to one another.
Claims18
A method for producing a network of metal fibers, the method comprising the following steps:
- step 1 of producing a plurality of metal fibers having a length of 1.0 mm or more, a width of 100 μm or less and a thickness of 50 μm or less by melt spinning;
- step 2 of providing a loose network of metal fibers produced in step 1, wherein the metal fibers show an exothermic event when being heated in a DSC measurement;
- and
- step 3 of fixating the plurality of metal fibers to one another by sintering.
