Center Line Globular Structure of Strip Cast Using High Speed Twin Roll Caster

Article Preview

Abstract:

Formation of a centerline globular structure in an aluminum alloy strip cast using a vertical type high-speed twin-roll caster was investigated. The theory that the crystals form at tip of the nozzle and are conveyed to the roll gap was investigated by roll casting using a cooling slope and clad-strip-casting in this study. In high-speed roll casting, the center of the strip thickness is semisolid, and the temperature gradient in the thickness direction is small. The latent heat of the semisolid metal heats the dendrite structure, which is divided by melting. The dendrite structure was divided as in thixocasting, which is the mechanism of formation of a globular crystal form. The zone of the semisolid metal becomes narrow as the roll load increases or the pouring temperature of the molten metal decreases. As result, the zone containing globular crystal structures becomes thinner.
