Abstract
The ability to produce continuous metallic foils by double-roller quenching with a “mechanically-soft” system has been demonstrated. Significant process variables influencing foil dimensions and microstructures were determined for tin and Al-12 wt% Si foils. The foil formation process is controlled by both fluid and heat flow. The diameter of the circular jet used to supply liquid metal to the roller nip largely establishes the dimensions of useful products. A lower foil thickness processing limit of 0.015 cm is recommended for double-roller quenching based on operational considerations.
