Disclosed is a method for manufacturing an aluminum alloy foil for electrode current collector, including: maintaining an aluminum alloy ingot comprising 0.1 to 0.5% of Fe, 0.01 to 0.3% of Si, 0.01 to 0.2% of Cu, 0.01% or less of Mn, with the rest being Al and unavoidable impurities, at 550 to 620° C. for 1 to 20 hours, and subjecting the resulting ingot under a hot rolling with a starting temperature of 500° C. or higher and an end-point temperature of 255 to 300° C.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of predicting surface quality of a thin slab hot rolled coil. The method includes calculating the Cu equivalent (Cu eq.) of molten steel, applying the calculated Cu equivalent of the molten steel into an equation: 120×(Cu equivalent)2−6×(Cu equivalent) to calculate a surface crack index, and predicting the generation of surface defect of the thin slab hot rolled coil by the surface crack index. A method of producing the thin slab hot rolled coil using the same is also provided. The surface crack defect of the thin slab hot rolled coil can be predicted by calculating the Cu equivalent of the molten steel, and thus a thin slab which meets the quality standard demanded by a consumer can be provided, and this results in increased productivity and product reliability.
Abstract:
Methods of fabricating a uranium-bearing foil are described. The foil may be substantially pure uranium, or may be a uranium alloy such as a uranium-molybdenum alloy. The method typically includes a series of hot rolling operations on a cast plate material to form a thin sheet. These hot rolling operations are typically performed using a process where each pass reduces the thickness of the plate by a substantially constant percentage. The sheet is typically then annealed and then cooled. The process typically concludes with a series of cold rolling passes where each pass reduces the thickness of the plate by a substantially constant thickness amount to form the foil.
Abstract:
A metal foil machining roller of the present invention is a metal foil machining roller in which a plurality of recessed portions are formed on a circumferential surface of the roller, wherein at least a surface layer portion contains a metal material with a Rockwell hardness in A scale of HRA 81.2 to 90.0 and a transverse rupture strength of 3 GPa to 6 GPa. By pressure-molding a metal foil by using the metal foil machining roller, protrusion portions of an approximately uniform shape with dimensions of several microns to several tens of microns can be formed efficiently on a surface of the metal foil on an industrial scale.
