Knitting metal produces a matrix of interlocking loops that can move relative to each other without permanent distortion. Each loop is actually free to move in three directions, giving the material a two-way stretch. All metals that can be produced as wire can be knitted together, for example:

Additional versatility and resilience, as well as a reduction of surface
friction, can also be obtained by combining non-metallic materials with the metal. Knitted
metal products can be manufactured using various diameters of wire and can be configured
in different link densities. The products can also be supplied fabricated into casings
with particular suitability to Blowback Control. Many of these products are custom
designed to meet specific customer requirements. |
