  • Copper-nickel-silicon two phase quench substrate
    Patent number: 6764556
    Abstract: A copper-nickel-silicon quench substrate rapidly solidifies molten alloy into microcrystalline or amorphous strip. The substrate is composed of a thermally conducting alloy. It has a two-phase microstructure with copper rich regions surrounded by a network of nickel silicide phases. The microstructure is substantially homogeneous. Casting of strip is accomplished with minimal surface degradation as a function of casting time. The quantity of material cast during each run is improved without the toxicity encountered with copper-beryllium substrates.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 17, 2002
    Date of Patent: July 20, 2004
    Inventors: Shinya Myojin, Richard L. Bye, Nicholas J. Decristofaro, Jeng S. Lin, David W. Millure, Joseph G. Cox, Jr., Dale R. Walls, Gary B. A. Schuster
