Metal <strong>fibre</strong>s:<br />
are stronger than glass <strong>fibre</strong>s,<br />
can’t beat high tenacity <strong>fibre</strong>s such as<br />
Aramid, Carbon and Dyneema in strength,<br />
but do beat them in ductility (cf high<br />
elongation).<br />

Carbon<br />
Metal <strong>fibre</strong>s:<br />
have the disadvantage of high density<br />
but there is still potential for lightweight<br />
composites because of design flexibility<br />
for some applications (golf shaft) this is<br />
a benefit<br />
