METHOD FOR PRODUCING STEEL FIBERS

摘要

A method of making steel fibers, preferably for use as a concrete additive, and for the supply thereof in making steel fiber concrete, characterized in that to form the steel fibers (2) first a sheet-metal strip (1) is notched either on one face or both faces so as to form steel-fiber wires (4) that are initially connected together by webs (5), and that further, for subsequently converting the webs (5) into thin easily mutually separable separation webs forming separation surfaces that are fracture-rough and low in burring upon separation, the steel-fiber strip is subjected to a flexing process in which each web (5) is subjected to multiple bending deformations about its longitudinal axis in such a way that incipient cracks are produced at the webs (5) due to fatigue fracture and thus the separation webs are produced.

1. A method of making steel fibers for use as a concrete additive, and for the supply thereof in making steel fiber concrete, the method comprising the steps of:
to form the steel fibers, first notching a sheet-metal strip on one face or both faces so as to form steel-fiber wires that are initially connected together by webs, and thereafter, for converting the webs into thin easily mutually separable separation webs forming separation surfaces that are fracture-rough and low in burring upon separation, flexing the steel-fiber strip by subjecting each web to multiple bending deformations about its longitudinal axis in such a way that incipient cracks are produced at the webs due to fatigue fracture and thus the separation webs are produced.
