Casting of Bar Using a Twin Wheel Caster

Article Preview

Abstract:

A simple twin-wheel caster is proposed for casting thin bars. The lower wheel of this caster has a trapezoidal groove with an area of 25 mm2. A 1070 pure aluminum bar with a convex, not concave and trapezoidal, cross section could be cast at speeds ranging from 3 to 4 m/min. The area of the bar was 38 mm2 when the wheel speed was 3 m/min. The area decreased with increasing wheel speed.
