A process for manufacturing a flexible shaft including a flexible core surrounded with at least one armoring constituted of at least two layers of helically wound metallic wires or cables. This process is characterized in that each armoring layer is provided with an anchoring layer wherein it is embedded, thin anchoring layer being constituted of an elastomeric or thermoplastic material which has been subjected to a thermal treatment, in combination with a thin hooping and separating layer which covers the armoring layer and is constituted of a material which can withstand the thermal treatment without flowing, this material preferably retracting under the conditions of this thermal treatment. |
