Abstract
A conveyance system for tensioning to post-treat a rapidly-solidified metal strip, and a method for post-treating the metal strip with the conveyance system is provided. The conveyance system comprises a tension roller assembly and a tensioning assembly, between which the metal strip is conveyed to be continuously post-treated under a predetermined tensile stress. The tension roller assembly comprises a single drive roller and a freely-rotating pressing roller. The metal strip is conveyed over an angle of wrap α on the drive roller, and, with respect to the drive roller, the pressing roller is arranged at a contact point of the metal strip that defines one end of an angle of wrap α. The method can include bridging the distance between the tensioning assembly and the tension roller assembly amid the insertion of the metal strip into the tension roller assembly, after a post-treatment region in space and in time.
