Abstract
An opening roller for opening fibres fed to an open-end spinning machine has a cylindrical shell outwardly from which protrude a plurality of fibre-engaging teeth, each of which has a coating of wear-resistant ceramics or metallic material applied thereto. The teeth are formed as pointed ends of a plurality of pins passing through the cylindrical shell and the coating applied so as to cover the whole surface of each of the pins. The opening roller is provided with a flange extending from each end of the cylindrical shell and the wear-resistant coating may be applied to each of the protruding tooth portions, the outer surface of the cylindrical shell and the inner surface of the flanges.
