Abstract: A new metal fiber yarn (1) and methods for obtaining such a yarn are provided. The metal fiber yarn comprises at least 9 bundles (8) of continuous metal fibers. Each of the bundles comprises at least 30 metal fibers (7). The at least 9 bundles are arranged in at least 2 layers of continuous metal fiber bundles as seen over a transverse cross section through the metal fiber yarn. This new metal fiber yarn has an increased flexlife and strength.

Abstract: A new metal fiber yarn is provided. The metal fiber yarn (10) constitutes a construction comprising continuous metal fibers (13) forming a metal fiber yarn. The construction comprises at least 5 bundles (12) of continuous metal fibers twisted together to form a yarn. Each of the metal fiber bundles (12) comprises at least 30 metal fibers (13). The yarn comprises at least one partial yarn (11), said partial yarn comprising at least two metal fiber bundles (13) twisted around each other with a predetermined number of torsions per meter.

Abstract: A new metal fiber yarn and methods for obtaining such a yarn are provided. The metal fiber yarn constitutes a construction comprising continuous metal fibers forming a metal fiber yarn. The construction comprises at least 5 bundles of continuous fibers, whereof at least one bundle is a bundle of metal fibers, preferably bundle drawn metal fibers. The bundles of continuous fibers are twisted together to form a yarn. Each bundle of metal fibers comprises at least 30 metal fiber filaments. The length of the continuous fiber bundles is substantially equal per unit length of the metal fiber yarn and the length of the fiber bundles per unit length of the metal fiber yarn is larger than the unit length of the metal fiber yarn itself.
