The stainless steel fiber manufactu red by bundle drawing method has not o nly the high thermal resistance and c orrosion resistance,but also the flexility and weavable p roperties of textile fiber.It has been used widely as raw material for non woven fabrics and mixture fabrics.Through comparing the physical prop erties of stainless steel fiber with that of traditional woven fiber,it was regarded that stainless steel fib er and traditional textile fabric differ in density,elongation percentag e,rebound resilience,bending resistance,curliness and skin friction co-efficient ,which affect the quality of nonwoven fabrics woven by stainless steel fib er.So it' s important to investigate the properties of stainless steel fiber.
