The demand for high-performance metal fibers is rising, and the overall development prospects of the industry are good

Metal fiber not only maintains the electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance and other properties of metal, but also obtains properties such as softness and high specific surface area similar to textile fibers. It is the raw material for the production of various metal fiber products. According to different metal materials, metal fibers can be divided into stainless steel metal fibers, iron-chromium-aluminum metal fibers, nickel-based metal fibers, titanium-based metal fibers, copper-based metal fibers, etc.; according to different production processes, metal fibers can be divided into melting and drawing Method metal fiber, drawing method metal fiber and cutting method metal fiber; depending on whether the metal fiber is composite and blended, it can be divided into pure metal fiber, metalized fiber, blended composite metal fiber, etc.

Metal fibers have many unique and excellent properties, such as good electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, wear resistance, high strength, and high elastic modulus. They are widely used in electromagnetic shielding materials, shock absorption and sound-absorbing materials, filter materials, and high temperature resistant materials. , battery electrode materials and composite materials and other fields. At present, metal fibers have made great progress internationally, but metal fibers are still in the growth stage in my country and will have a very broad market in the environmental protection, energy, military, petrochemical and other industries in the future.

According to the “China Metal Fiber Industry Market Supply and Demand Status and Development Trend Forecast Report 2022-2026” released by the Industrial Research Center, in recent years In recent years, with the advancement of technology in the metal fiber industry and the development of downstream markets, the number of companies in my country’s metal fiber industry has continued to increase, and existing production companies have also continued to expand their production scale. As a result, the production capacity of China’s metal fiber industry has continued to expand, and companies are mainly concentrated in East China. and Central China, East China is also the main center of demand for my country’s metal fiber industry.

“The catalog of high-tech fields supported by the state” includes “high magnetic permeability, low power consumption, and anti-electromagnetic interference soft magnetic material preparation technology; high-performance shielding material technology.” The “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” Special Plan for Scientific and Technological Innovation in the Materials Field lists “high-quality functional fiber and textile preparation technology” as a key development technology. The implementation of these policies has brought investment opportunities for high-performance metal fibers.

Industrial researchers believe that metal fibers and their products are advanced special functional materials. With the strict requirements of national policies on environmental protection , metal fibers and their products will gain good development opportunities in the fields of electromagnetic shielding, dust removal, shock absorption and sound absorption, and filtration. Moreover, with the continuous development of new technologies and new processes, the application fields of metal fibers are also constantly expanding.
