Abstract
A roll-to-roll sintering system for wide inorganic tape material may include a spool on which is wound a continuous tape material comprising a green tape material and a backing layer, a take-up reel, and a heating station including at least one furnace. The heating station is configured to receive an unwound length of the continuous tape. The heating station further includes a first curved section such that the continuous tape material is bent through a radius of curvature of 0.01 m to 13,000 m, and at least two rollers defining the first curved section over which the continuous tape material is bent. The heating station is controlled to provide at least a portion of the heating station with an air free atmosphere, that being at least one of vacuum, hydrogen, or helium.
