Study on Molten Zone in Twin-Roll Casting of Magnesium Alloy Strip

Article Preview

Abstract:

Thermal flow finite element simulation was carried out to deeply understand the solidification and deformation phenomena of magnesium alloy in molten zone during twin-roll casting process. The results show that temperature near the nip of the rolls is about 680K based on current conditions, and there are two vortexes in the molten pool during casting, a peak formed at solidus. Due to the metal flows in molten pool and relative rotates of the rolls, temperature field of molten zone is different from normal casting, which will cause the solidification structure changes. An experiment by using a vertical type twin-roll caster was also conducted, and the amount of deformation bands at the joint line is larger than that at the two sides. Substructures can be found due to dynamic recrystallization during casting process.
