Glass-coated MicroWire production process

Production of Microwires

Microwires are produced using the Taylor–Ulitovsky method, a specialized process that allows the creation of ultra-thin metallic cores coated with protective glass.

This technique makes it possible to manufacture microwires with diameters ranging from fractions of a micron up to several dozen microns, while the glass coating can be tailored to different thicknesses depending on the application.

By adjusting parameters such as heating conditions and drawing speed, the structure and properties of the microwires can be precisely controlled. These production advantages give microwires a wide variety of magnetic and physical behaviors, making them especially useful in sensing, actuating, electronics, and advanced material applications.
