Abstract
The occurrence of a “maltese-cross” morphology of halide inclusions is discussed, which results in a brownish shadow on the surface of the foil produced in twin-rolled continuous cast strips of aluminum alloys melted in reverberatory furnaces. Its probable mechanism of formation inside the liquid is explained by the use of qualitative semi-empirical concepts of the alloy theory, supported by experimental work involving X-ray line profiles and EDAX point analysis.
