The characteristics along with problems taken place in the fabrication of metal fiber using glass-coated melt spinning method was investigated. Specimens were heated to melt by simple melting apparatus equipped with high frequency generator. Appropriate temperature was confirmed. It ranged from annealing to working temperature of glass. To achieve steady production of metal fiber, both proper quantity of alloy metal and simultaneous heating of specimen and glass was required. Stainless steel fiber fabricated in this report was approximately 100 μm in diameter, and has higher tensile strength than conventional one. The strength of fiber is inversely proportional to diameter of stainless steel fiber. Particularly in case of aluminum alloy, specimens reacted easily in its melting state. Due to reduction of Si from SiO₂, glass lost its viscosity and fractured in its initial stage. (Received October 16, 1997)
