MUMBAI, India, Nov. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202617098582 A) filed by Mitsui Kinzoku Company, Limited on August 14, 2026, for Metal Nonwoven Fabric, Electrode And Joining Material Using Same, And Production Method For Metal Nonwoven Fabric.

Inventors include Komoda, Yasuo; and Shibata, Yasuhiro.

The application for the patent was published on October 30, 2026, under issue no. 44/2026.

Abstract: This metal nonwoven fabric includes metal fibers. The compressive elastic modulus is no more than 4 MPa. When a rectangular piece of the metal nonwoven fabric that has a length of 300 mm, a width of 200 mm, and a thickness of 1 mm is hung such that the length direction coincides with the vertical direction, the percentage change in the length in the length direction of the metal nonwoven fabric is no more than 10%. The tensile strength is 0.01–4 MPa. When a rectangular piece of the metal nonwoven fabric that has a length of 50 mm, a width of 10 mm, and a thickness of 1 mm is placed on a horizontal surface, one end in the length direction of the metal nonwoven fabric is fixed to the horizontal surface, and the other end is pulled up such that the maximum curvature is at a center part in the length direction of the metal nonwoven fabric and the internal angle formed between the surface of a region at least 10 mm from the other end and the horizontal surface is 120 degrees, the metal non-woven fabric does not break.
