Stainless steel fabrics are created by weaving or knitting stainless steel fibers into a textile. These fabrics possess electrical conductivity due to the presence of fine stainless-steel fibers blended with other metals. Additionally, stainless steel fabrics can serve as heating elements thanks to their electrical conductivity. They are used in clothing, blankets, and other products where heat is needed.
The production of metal fiber fabrics can be done through knitting or weaving. Knitted fabrics offer good softness, ductility, and elasticity, while woven fabrics provide high strength and robustness, making them less prone to deformation. Due to their versatility, Stainless Steel fiber fabrics are employed in various industries, including automotive glass production, where they are used in bending molds. Their flexibility and suppleness help prevent thermal shock cracks or scratches during glass forming processes.
