Abstract
A method for the production of a fibrous metal structure by weaving with metal weft yarns and metal warp yarns. The method includes weaving the fibrous structure by successive weaving of metal clasps that are used as weft yarns. For the purpose of weaving, each of the arms of each of the metal clasps is introduced into at least one shed, each shed being formed by two warp yarns.
Claims6
A method of production of a three-dimensional fibrous metal structure by weaving with metal weft threads and metal warp threads, the method comprising:
- producing a plurality of metal clasps by bending metal segments, each of said metal clasps including a first arm extending along a first direction and a second arm extending along a second direction that is different from the first direction, the first arm and the second arm connected to one another by a joining element, and
- after said producing, weaving in three dimensions by successive weaving of the plurality of separate metal clasps acting as weft threads, said weaving being carried out into a first weaving plane formed by a plurality of the first arms successively positioned one next to another and a separate second weaving plane formed by a plurality of the second arms successively positioned one next to another by the introduction of each first arm and each second arm of each of said metal clasps into at least one shed, each shed being formed by two warp threads.
