Research on the Rolling of AZ31 Strip Prepared by Twin Roll Casting

Abstract:

The AZ31 thin sheet (minimum thickness less than 1mm) was obtained by rolling the cast strip which was prepared by vertical twin roll casting in this paper. Since the absolute deformation during rolling was smaller,due to the small thickness of the strip of 3mm, the rolling of cast strip was different from the conventional rolling process. It was found that homogenizing time at 400°C for the cast strip was 4h and reduction per pass should be 8-10% for producing thinner (1-1.5mm) rolled AZ31 sheet at 350°C. Mechanical properties of the sheet were equivalent to conventional rolling sheet’s.
