Melt Spinning or "Splat quenching" to produce metallic glass ribbon.
Molten tin alloy is fed through a nozzle onto a rotating metal drum,
resulting in extremely high cooling rates (approx. 1 million Kelvin
per second). High speed photography at 4000 fps. |

When a magnet is brought near a spinning disk it causes magnetic flux changes and the formation of eddy currents, which consist of moving charges and hence are themselves magnetic fields. Repulsive forces between the 2 magnetic fields cause the spin of the disk to slow. From TLP Recycling of metals |
