  • Patent number: 5642771
    Abstract: At least one metal strip of small width is manufactured from a molten material held in a metallurgical vessel at a temperature above a melting point of the molten material, by the steps of subjecting the molten material to a pressure at least equal to atmospheric pressure and ejecting the molten material through orifices in a lower part of a nozzle fastened to the vessel and onto a moving cooling surface located beneath the nozzle, the orifices being elongated in the direction of movement of the cooling surface. The molten material is permitted to solidify in grooves in the cooling surface, the grooves being elongated in the direction of movement and facing and being in longitudinal alignment with the orifices.

  • Patent number: 4950335
    Abstract: A process and apparatus for producing articles for magnetic use consisting of a metal alloy in the form of a continuous strip (3) from which the articles (33) are cut out, the alloy being subjected to a heat treatment comprising at least one annealing operation carried out in the presence of a magnetic field. The annealing operation is divided into at least two successive phases, respectively a first, initiating phase in the presence of a magnetic field, carried out on the alloy in the form of a continuous strip (3) as it unwinds, and a second phase of ageing carried out on the separated articles (33) obtained from the strip (3) which has undergone the first phase. The invention enables the production of articles, in particular, for the electrotechnical industry.
