METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPROVING MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF MAGNETICALLY-ACTIVATABLE MATERIALS

摘要

A method and an apparatus for improving mechanical properties of magneticallyactivatablematerials (14) comprise at least one conveying device (1, 1a; 5, 5a; 9, 9a;13, 13a) to conveythe material (14) through a processing region. In the processing region, thematerial isdeformed as a result of the application of a force. Since the force iscontactlessly applied inthe processing region by at least one magnetic field (A, B) and/or by at leastone ultrasonicdevice (8a), a levelling process or material finishing process for metal bandsand metalsheets is provided, which meets the requirements of all mutually-linkedprocessing operationspositioned upstream and downstream.
