A steel fiber is a small steel wire rod having a length to diameter ratio between 20 to 100. The steel used to manufacture steel fibers comprises carbon and stainless steel. This carbon and stainless-steel fibers can be classified into hooked, straight, deformed, crimped, and others. These fibers are classified into type I - type V based on their manufacturing technology. The various manufacturing methods used in steel fiber production are cold drawn, cut wire, slit sheet, melt extract, and others. These steel fibers are used in various applications such as concrete reinforcement, composite reinforcement, refractories, and others (vaults, filters, material plastics).
The steel fiber market is segmented by type, manufacturing process, application, and geography, with major players including Bekaert, ArcelorMittal, and Nippon Seisen Co., Ltd.
