Optimum Design and Analysis of Metal Delivery System for Magnesium Alloy Plates with Twin-Roll Casting Process

Abstract:

Using physical and numerical simulation method，metal delivery system of twin-roll casting magnesium alloy process was researched. The Anycasting software was used to simulate different flow systems by VOF method. And based on similar principles, an acrylic experimental model with the ratio of 1:1 was designed. The dam’s size and position were optimized by simulations and experiments. The flow distribution is uniform along the horizontal of the casting roller. Numerical simulation and physical simulation are in good coincidence.
