Abstract
A process for recrystallization of thin strip material includes a device for electromagnetically melting the thin strip material to provide a molten surface layer and a substantially solid core. Apparatus provides relative movement between the thin strip and the device for electromagnetically melting. Also, an apparatus resolidifies the molten surface layer to provide a preferred crystal structure in the thin strip material.
Claims24
A process for recrystallization of thin strip material comprising:
- electromagnetically melting the said thin strip material to provide a molten surface and a substantially solid core;
- providing relative movement between unmelted thin strip and said thin strip material with the molten surface and a substantially solid core;
- and
- controlling the resolidification of the molten surface layer so that preferred crystal structure is formed in the thin strip material.
