Property Analysis of Stainless Steel Fiber (Yarn) and its Effect on Knitting Process

Abstract:

In this paper the frictional and tensile properties of stainless-steel fiber, cotton fiber, polyester fiber and rayon fiber, as well as the tensile and surface hairy properties of stainless-steel yarn, cotton yarn and wool yarn were tested and compared. Experimental results shown that the stainless-steel fiber has greater density, friction coefficient and tensile breakage strength but smaller breaking elongation. On the basis of summarizing the differences between stainless-steel fiber (yarn) and conventional textile fibers (yarns), difficulties occurred during knitting process were analyzed and the corresponding solutions were proposed.
