A process and apparatus for preparing a glass fiber circumferentially coated with an amorphous metallic alloy, wherein the glass fiber is drawn to substantially its final diameter and then coated with amorphous metallic alloy. The coating is accomplished by passing the drawn glass fiber vertically through an opening formed between two circumferentially abutting, counter-rotating, circumferentially grooved rolls having a pool of a glass-forming alloy continuously supplied from a crucible and supported in the nip of the rolls adjacent the opening. The drawn glass fiber first passes through the pool of molten alloy and then immediately into the opening defined between the two rolls, whereby the metallic alloy coated onto the drawn glass fiber is rapidly cooled to form an amorphous coating.
