The term Metal Wool refers to a family of products produced by the careful shaving of wire into a mass of strands resembling "wool". Metal wool shaved from plain steel wire is called steel wool. By varying the shaving process, the size or thickness of the individual strands can be varied. This allows for the separation of steel wool products by fiber thickness into eight categories called "grades".
BENEFITS: Steel wool possesses many properties that make it suitable for use in a wide range of different applications.
- Gentle Abrasiveness - Unlike sandpaper and other grit-based abrasives that scratch away material with sharp points, metal wool fibers perform like thousands of tiny planes on a surface. The result is a smoother surface after sanding and a better result after finishing.
- High Aspect Ratio - The shaving of wire into metal wool is an economical method to produce fine metal fibers. Metal fibers have many chemical and physical properties that make them ideal for various applications including thermal management, chemical reactions, electrochemistry, and composite reinforcement.
- Design Flexibility - Metal wool can be efficiently manufactured into many forms that allow easy integration into final applications. From chopping into low aspect ratio fibers for friction materials to forming textile-like metal fiber fabrics, metal wool is the material of choice for many OEM applications.
MATERIAL: Steel wool is made from a low carbon steel alloy specifically formulated for steel wool manufacture. The chemical makeup is available upon request.
FORMAT: The standard format for steel wool in bulk is the 5 pound reel. A web of metal wool approximately 1/2" thick by 4" wide is wound onto a 2-3/8" ID fiber core to an outside diameter of about 12" and weighing exactly 5 pounds net.
The web is approximately 25 feet per pound. 6 reels (30 pounds) net weight per case.
