Direct Molten Metal Rolling of Aluminum Alloy A3003

Abstract:

This paper describes a production process for aluminum alloy sheet metal. Direct molten metal rolling, in other words strip casting process for aluminum alloy A3003 sheet was operated. Strip casting process is able to produce the metal sheet from molten metal directly. Thus this process has possibility of improving the productivity of sheet because of shortening operation of rolling. In this study, experimental device was designed for direct molten metal rolling. Aluminum alloy A3003 was chosen. A3003 is for aluminum can body, and the sheet required the high productivity. The effect of roll speed on the produced strip surface and strip thickness was investigated. Roll speed were 1, 2 and 3 m/min. It was possible to produce A3003 strip by direct rolling at the conditions of roll speed 3 m/min, pouring temperature 700 °C, solidification length 15 mm and nozzle exit width 15 mm. Obtained strip surface was flatten and had a metallic luster.
