Abstract
A method of manufacturing metallic strip which differs in composition across its width includes feeding a cutting tool continuously into the peripheral surface of a rotating workpiece comprising a plurality of cylindrical components of differing composition to produce a continuous strip peeled from the surface of the workpiece, and collecting the peeled strip by winding it under tension around a coiler.

A method of manufacturing metallic strip which differs in composition across its width which method includes the steps of rotating about its longitudinal axis, a cylindrical workpiece comprising a plurality of co-axial cylindrical components of equal diameter, adjacent components being comprised of material of differing composition, feeding a cutting tool continuously into the peripheral surface of the workpiece as it rotates so as to produce a continuous strip peeled from the surface of the workpiece, and collecting the peeled strip by winding it under tension around a coiler.
