Effect of Si Content on Property of Al-Si-Mg Strip Cast Using High Speed Twin Roll Caster

Article Preview

Abstract:

Al-Si-Mg alloy strips with a Si content ranging from 0.5% to 12% were cast using a vertical type high-speed twin-roll caster at a roll speed of 60 m/min. The effect of Si content on ripple marks and cracks on the cast surface, as well as center cracks (crocodile cracks), was investigated. The results show a relationship between the Si content and these defects. When the Si content was higher than 4%, surface cracks and center cracks did not occur. However, ripple marks worsened when the Si content ranged from 3% to 5%.
