Manufactured from a variety of alloys, including Pd-based, Cu-based, and Ni-based (AMS 4777), melt-spun foil can be produced in strips up to 10 in. wide with typical thickness of 0.002 in., and can be easily cut into custom preform shapes.
The 10-in. melt-spun foil is suitable for automotive and aerospace applications where brazed assembly with large cross-section is needed, including brazing heat exchanger assemblies and assembling and repairing compressor vanes, stators, and hush kits. It is also used to produce cutting surfaces by brazing diamond compounds to tungsten carbide.
Morgan Advanced Ceramics (MAC), manufacturer of ceramic, glass, metal, and engineered coating solutions, offers melt-spun foil through its Wesgo® Metals division.
MAC's rapid solidification technology produces high purity ductile foil material, which would be brittle if produced by conventional cold or hot rolling techniques. It allows for flexible application, consistent wetting and melting behaviors, as well as structural stability over wide temperature range. Amorphous materials are available in varied compositions including nickel, copper, and palladium.
