Flexible cushioning materials produced by a process forcutting
knitted metal fine wires at a given length and further by a
processof compressing and forming through press working. Being able
to be usedin an atmosphere at high temperature, these knitted wire
mesh productshave been used for automobile's exhaust manifolds, the
periphery of exhaustpipes, vibration-proof washers on engine heat
shielding covers, and soforth, so that superior effects can be
achieved on heat resistance, vibration-proofand soundproofing.
