Reimann Brake Ramp for planar flow casting processes and analysis of ribbon gluing
Planar flow casting is a rapid solidification process used to manufacture thin, metallic ribbons, and foil well established at the Department of Physics.
Planar flow casting is a rapid solidification process used to manufacture thin, metallic ribbons, and foil well established at the Department of Physics (UniNews 2019).
In this work published in Journal of Materials Research and Technology, researchers focused on a new method to control the ribbon thickness over a length of 50 meter by reducing the wheel speed at the start of the cast. This method was not already reported and was named using his inventor’s name as Reimann Brake Ramp. Moreover, the development of an automatized melt spinner permitted monitoring and controlling the process parameters, elucidating the ribbon’s gluing phenomenon during the starting phase.
