Casting of Thin Bare Wire Using Wheel Caster Equipped with Rotating Side-Dam Plates

Article Preview

Abstract:

A simple twin-wheel caster is proposed for casting thin bare wire. An unequal diameter twin wheel caster equipped with rotating side-dam plates is proposed for casting a thin bare wire of aluminum alloy to shorten the fabrication process. The rotating side-dam plate was made of mild steel. Al-10%Mg bare wire with a rectangular cross section could be cast at wheel speeds of 3 and 4 m/min. Area of the bare wire was less than 100 mm2 at these wheel speeds. The side surface of the bare wire was made flat by the rotating side-dam plates. The rotating side-dam plates prevent the cross section of the bare wire from becoming concave.
