The aspect ratio of melt extract stainless steel fiber refers to the ratio of its length to diameter. A higher aspect ratio generally leads to improved performance of the fiber. This is because a higher aspect ratio allows for a greater surface area and better interlocking within the matrix material, resulting in enhanced mechanical properties such as increased tensile strength, improved crack resistance, and better overall reinforcement. Additionally, a higher aspect ratio can enhance the fiber's ability to distribute stress evenly, leading to improved durability and longevity.
