Abstract
In a procedure of preparing fibrous metal material by electrolytically deiting metal on conductive fibres forming a skeleton, the fibres are carded during deposition of the metal. The fibres are carded in a rotatable drum containing a fibre carding device which operates during rotation of the drum to card fibres while metal is being electrolytically deposited on the fibres.
Claims6
In a process for preparing fibrous metal material wherein the metal is electrolytically deposited on conductive fibres forming a skeleton, the improvement comprising continuously carding the fibres during deposition of the metal thereof, said carding comprising subjecting said fibres to the action of at least two sets of teeth in relative movement with respect to each other.
Carbon-core metal fibres which comprises metal electrolytically deposited on conductive fibres forming a skeleton, the fibres having been carded during deposition of the metal.
