Investigation of Side-Dam Plate in Single-Wheel Caster for Casting Rods

Article Preview

Abstract:

The cross section of a thin rod cast by a single-wheel caster, for which the wheel cross section is an inverted trapezoidal groove, is concave. To make the cross section convex, an inner side-dam plate is proposed. A single-wheel caster with a flat wheel (without a groove) and rotating side-dam plates is also proposed. 5182 aluminum alloy rods with a convex or rectangular cross section can be cast. The area of the rod is smaller than 150 mm2. The diameter of the converted circle area is 15 mm.
