Cold Plasma as Effective Tool for Aluminum Surface Cleaning by Popelka, Anton

“…In the final step, two layers of foils are wounded together and rolling oil is sprayed between the two layers and the -twin foil- is rolled down. A continuous amorphous oxide layer is formed immediately after rolling process due to the reaction of oxygen and air humidity and therefore new metal surface is produced [5]. …”
