Apparatus and method for manufacture of multilayer metal products

摘要

A multiplayer metal foil stack (10) is separated by a separation tool comprising rollers (14) and (16) to separate the multiplayer stack of metal foils (10) into separate and individual metal foil layers (11), to enable treatment or processing of layer(s) before the metal foil layers are reassembled into a multiplayer stack of metal foils. Corrugation rollers (18) and (19) are used to form corrugated layers (15) which are then recombined at the slot between rollers (20) and (21) to form the multiplayer metal foil stack comprising smooth layers of metal foil and corrugated layers of metal foil. The recombined multiplayer stack of metal foils (22) is then fed to stamping and cutting tool (24) which produces individual multiplayer metal foil parts (26).
