Melt Spinner (Edmund Buehler)

The Melt Spinner (Edmund Buehler) is a tool for the production of rapidly solidified amorphous or nanocrystalline ribbons or splats on a laboratory scale, either in high vacuum or inert gas atmosphere. The alloys are heated by induction in a suitable crucible with slit or round nozzle and ejected on a copper wheel with overpressure. The melt rapidly solidifies and leaves the wheel as a ribbon.
