Morgan Advanced Ceramics is now offering melt-spun foil through its Wesgo Metals Division.

Morgan Advanced Ceramics (MAC), a manufacturer of innovative ceramic, glass, metal and engineered coatings, is now offering melt-spun foil through its Wesgo Metals Division.

Manufactured from a variety of alloys, including Pd-based, Cu-based and Ni-based (AMS 4777), the melt-spun foil can be produced in strips up to 250mm wide with a typical thickness of 0.05mm, and can be easily cut into custom preform shapes.

The 250mm metal spun foil is designed for various automotive and aerospace applications where a brazed assembly with a large cross-section is needed, including brazing heat exchanger assemblies, assembling and repairing compressor vanes, stators and hush kits.

They are also used to produce cutting surfaces by brazing diamond compounds to tungsten carbide.

MACs solidification technology is claimed to allow the production of high purity ductile foil material, which would otherwise be brittle if produced by conventional cold or hot rolling techniques.

The foil allows for flexible application, consistent wetting and melting behaviours, as well as structural stability over a wide range of temperatures.

These amorphous materials are available in a variety of compositions, including nickel, copper and palladium.
