Abstract

The present invention relates to short metal fibers. A set of short metal fibers, with an equivalent diameter ranging from 1 to 150 μm, comprises entangled and curved fibers. At least 10% of the short metal fibers are entangled, whereas the length of the curved fibers is distributed according to a gamma-distribution, having an average length preferably between 10 and 2000 μm.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method to provide a set of short metal fibers, comprising the steps of: 
 individualizing the metal fibers by a carding operation;    providing the set of short metal fibers by cutting or entangling and sieving the set of short metal fibers.    
   
   
       2 . A method to provide a set of short metal fibers as in  claim 1 , said providing the set of short metal fibers by cutting or entangling and sieving the set of short metal fibers is done using a comminuting machine.
