French term

bandes collées

French to English Tech/Engineering Metallurgy / Casting steel strip manufacture
"des améliorations de qualité et de productivité, notamment dans le secteur des **bandes collées**". Could this be "bonded strips"?
Like my earlier question, this comes from a secondary steel processor's annual report. He engages in the manufacture of steel wire and rod, as well as metal banding tape. I've searched Eurodicautom and conducted some web searches, but without turning anything up. I really need someone who knows their way round a steel factory, please!
Proposed translations (English)
3 bonded wire (bands)

Thank you. Thank you, Allan. I have just had an e-mail back from the end client, who says "wire bands", but I think he undoubtedly means "bonded wire bands". I appreciate your help.
Adam Warren (asker) Sep 16, 2005:
Client's term The client, the same one as for "marge sur mati�re", intimates that "pour les bandes, nous pr�f�rons : 'wire bands'". I'd still like to satisfy myself as to what "bandes coll�es" actually refers to, before I close this item.
