Study of the Structural Properties and Segregation of Alloying Elements in Strips from the TRC Line

Abstract:

Twin roll casting (TRC) technology is becoming increasingly popular because of the opportunity to receive aluminum strips which may serve as input for direct cold rolling processes. Furthermore, these strips have a favourable combination of mechanical and electric properties as well as dimensional tolerances. TRC line strips show segregation of alloying elements and structure providing a combination of casting structure and wrought alloy. As part of this study, the structure of the strips from the TRC line has been analyzed as well as the segregation of the alloying elements.
