Apparatus for production of metal ribbon

摘要

A method according to the present invention comprises the formation of metallic materials by translating metal wire between working tools, that is, a striker and an anvil, which are arranged in a closed space with a medium inert to both the wire metal and material of the tools. The wire is then heated to a temperature high enough for plastic deformation of the metal, while ultrasonic vibrations are simultaneously applied to the working tools, propagating at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the wire. An apparatus for carrying out the proposed method comprises, in addition to the working tools, sources of ultrasonic vibrations which are rigidly coupled to the tools, and a mechanism for heating the working tools and wire.
