Casting of Thin Aluminum Alloy Rod Using Twin Wheel Caster Equipped with Rotating Side Dam Plates

Abstract:

A thin aluminum rod (width: 5 mm) was cast using a twin-wheel caster equipped with rotating side-dam plates. The upper and lower casting wheels were made of copper. The width of the flat upper and lower casting wheels was 5 mm. The rotating side-dam plate was made of mild steel. Paper 0.5 mm thick was pasted onto the plate. Boron nitride was sprayed onto the paper as an insulator and lubricant. A 6061 aluminum alloy thin rod could be cast continuously at casting speeds of 4 and 5 m/min. Molten metal was poured onto the lower wheel from a launder and conveyed into a square gap made by the lower wheel, upper wheel, and side-dam plates. The cross section of the cast rod was rectangular. The cross-sectional area of the rectangular rod was 12 to 15 mm².
