(OP)
Is it common to roll down to .001'' or thinner AIR-MELTED stainless steel foils? We normally use vacuum melting for that thin products.

RE: Stainless .001'' foils_air melting?
Multiple issues such as tearing, shape and surface defects, etc. are my concerns at .001''. Inclusions/pits can cause strip tearing, aggressive grinding could damage the strip profile...... This material is softer than SS, and we never used air-melting to roll down less than .002''. I worry about bringing in more trouble than profit.

If these are not continuous cast then I would use re-melted.
