Numerical Simulation of the Twin-Roll Casting of Mg/Al Clad Strips

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the present study, a two-dimensional steady state laminar flow model was developed using fluent software in order to investigate the possibility of achieving Mg/Al cladding using a horizontal twin roll caster. The effects of parameters such as upper and lower inlets casting sequence, solidification length on the temperature field at the bond interface and outlet thickness direction were investigated. The feasibility of the model was verified by combining with experiments. The results show that the molten A5052 alloy with a high melting point is more suitable to be cast by the lower roll at the roll speed of 9 m/min and the roll gap of 5 mm. The temperature of the A5052 and AZ91 near the bond interface of the clad strip can be controlled by the solidification length. Numerical simulations can provide guidance for the optimal casting process parameters.
