Casting of Wire Using a Twin Wheel Caster

Abstract:

A twin-wheel caster for casting thin aluminum alloy wire was designed, assembled, and tested. Molten metal was ejected from the nozzle (cross-sectional area: 4 mm²) of a crucible into a triangular groove that was machined on the outer surface of the lower wheel. The metal was solidified by the upper and lower wheels. Wire made of Al-1.2%Fe or 6061 aluminum alloy, whose cross-sectional area was smaller than 20 mm², could be cast at a speed of 6 or 7 m/min. The upper and lower wheels were made of copper to increase the cooling rate. The diameter of the upper and lower wheels was 200 and 600 mm, respectively. The thickness of the wheels was 10 mm.
