  2. Metallic fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallic_fiber

    These metal fiber cloths protect the glass during the bending process with highly elevated temperatures and high pressures. Also heating cables for car seat heating and Selective Catalytic Reduction tubes, adblue tanks. Metal fiber heating cables show an extremely high flexibility and durability when compared to copper wire. Aerospace

  3. Natural fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_fiber

    Natural fibers or natural fibres (see spelling differences) are fibers that are produced by geological processes, or from the bodies of plants or animals. [1] They can be used as a component of composite materials, where the orientation of fibers impacts the properties. [2] Natural fibers can also be matted into sheets to make paper or felt. [3 ...

  4. Composite material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_material

    Composites can also use metal fibres reinforcing other metals, as in metal matrix composites (MMC) [26] or ceramic matrix composites (CMC), [27] which includes bone (hydroxyapatite reinforced with collagen fibres), cermet (ceramic and metal), and concrete. Ceramic matrix composites are built primarily for fracture toughness, not for strength ...

  5. Fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber

    Fiber (also spelled fibre in British English; from Latin: fibra) [1] is a natural or artificial substance that is significantly longer than it is wide. [2] Fibers are often used in the manufacture of other materials.

  6. Metal matrix composite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_matrix_composite

    In materials science, a metal matrix composite (MMC) is a composite material with fibers or particles dispersed in a metallic matrix, such as copper, aluminum, or steel. The secondary phase is typically a ceramic (such as alumina or silicon carbide ) or another metal (such as steel [ 1 ] ).

  7. Biometal (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biometal_(biology)

    The metals copper, zinc, iron, and manganese are examples of metals that are essential for the normal functioning of most plants and the bodies of most animals, such as the human body. A few ( calcium , potassium , sodium ) are present in relatively larger amounts, whereas most others are trace metals , present in smaller but important amounts ...

  8. List of textile fibres - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_textile_fibres

    Textile fibres or textile fibers (see spelling differences) can be created from many natural sources (animal hair or fur, cocoons as with silk worm cocoons), as well as semisynthetic methods that use naturally occurring polymers, and synthetic methods that use polymer-based materials, and even minerals such as metals to make foils and wires.

  9. Carbon fibers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_fibers

    Carbon fibers or carbon fibres (alternatively CF, graphite fiber or graphite fibre) are fibers about 5 to 10 micrometers (0.00020–0.00039 in) in diameter and composed mostly of carbon atoms. [1] Carbon fibers have several advantages: high stiffness, high tensile strength, high strength to weight ratio, high chemical resistance, high ...
