Abstract

The invention concerns a method for metal coating of fibres (15) by liquid process, said method being particularly but not exclusively designed for coating in thick and even layers (22) with metals and metal alloys having high melting point and reactivity. Said method is characterised in that it consists in moving along the stretched fibre (15) in the liquid metal maintained in levitation in a well (1), said fibre (15) passing through orifices (6, 7) provided in the well (1) wall (3), said orifices (6, 7) being arranged on either side of the liquid metal at places where the liquid metal (10) is not in contact with said wall (3).
