An improved method for manufacturing metallic wool (e.g. steel wool) in which a metal wire (e.g. a steel wire) is drawn through a shaving machine provided with successively mounted shaving cutters, wherein the cross-sectional profile of the wire which is drawn through the shaving machine has two portions, one of the portions being substantially semi-circular in cross-section and the other of the portions being substantially rectangular in cross-section. Generally one dimension of the rectangular portion is substantially equal to the diameter of the semi-circular portion and the other dimension of the rectangular portion is in the range of about one-third to two-thirds of the diameter. Preferably this other dimension of the rectangular portion is substantially equal to the radius of the semi-circular portion. An improved metallic wool product is produced by the method of the present invention. |
