Abstract: A method of depositing a coating of a first metal alloy on a fiber extending in a main direction, including: a) heating a first mass of a first metal alloy above its melting temperature; and b) moving the fiber through the liquid first mass to be covered by a coating of a non-zero thickness over the entire periphery of the fiber; and prior to a): i) providing a second mass of a second metal alloy having a higher melting temperature than the first alloy; j) heating the second mass to above its melting temperature to be in its liquid state and then moving the fiber through the second alloy such that the second alloy is taken up under visco-capillary conditions and the fiber becomes covered over a portion by a coating of the second alloy of non-zero thickness; and k) cooling the second coating until it becomes solid.
