Semisolid Strip Casting of Aluminum Alloy by a Twin Roll Caster Equipped with a Channel Scraper

Article Preview

Abstract:

An unequal diameter twin-roll caster equipped with a channel scraper is proposed to improve center-line segregation. A semisolid metal layer was made by the channel scraper on the upper side of the strip and solidified by an upper roll. The twin-roll caster cast a strip of 5182 with equiaxed grain and without center-line segregation at a speed of 30 m/min and a unit roll load of 104 N/mm. The tensile stress and elongation after cold rolling and annealing were 294 MPa and 28%, respectively.
