A typical technique for splat quenching involves casting molten metal by pouring it between two massive, cooled copper rollers that are constantly chilled by the circulation of water.
[2] Another technique involves the consecutive spraying of the molten metal onto a chemical vapor deposition surface.
In cases where the volume of the drop is too large or the velocity is too slow, the metal will not solidify past equilibrium causing it to remelt.
[4] Therefore, experiments are carried out to determine the precise volume and velocity of the droplet that will ensure complete solidification of a certain metal.
In the splat quenching process, the metals are very soft and have superparamagnetic properties or shifting polarity behavior caused by the rapid and intense heat transfer.
