Abstract
An apparatus and process is disclosed for making fine metallic fiber tow comprising the steps of cladding an array of metallic wires with an array cladding material to provide an array cladding. The array cladding is drawn for reducing the diameter thereof and for reducing the corresponding diameters of each of the metallic wires of the array within the array cladding for producing an array of fine metallic fibers. A series of bends is formed in the array cladding. The array cladding is placed onto a support with the series of bends creating spaces between adjacent portions of the array cladding to minimize the number of direct contacts between adjacent portions of the array cladding. The array cladding material is removed for producing metallic fiber tow. The apparatus of the present invention forms the bends in the array cladding.
