Abstract

A process is disclosed for producing discontinuous metal foils. The process involves entraining metal powder particles in a carrier gas and passing the powder particles through a high temperature zone at a temperature above the melting point of the powder particles to melt at least about 50% by weight of the powder particles and thereafter resolidifying the resulting high temperature treated material by impacting the material against a substrate to form the foils.
