Abstract
Leaders are attached to opposite ends of a titanium foil or thin strip element and are partially coiled on respective reels spaced at opposite sides of a cluster rolling mill to transfer the titanium element back and forth between the reels to move the element between pressure rolls of the mill a plurality of times and under forward and back tension in air at room temperature to initially reduce the element thickness enough to permit the element to be coiled on the reels and then to partially coil the element on the reels to further reduce element thickness. Iron aluminide material is interleaved with a loose coil of the element and the element is heated in a protective atmosphere to stress relieve and partially recrystallize the element material between the reductions in thickness.
