Design of a Composite Roll with Internal Cooling Channels for Twin-Roll Casting

Article Preview

Abstract:

In twin-roll casting, the melt is cooled, solidified and rolled to a specific thickness only by the rolls and consequently a lot of heat is transferred from the melt to the rolls through the melt/roll interface. In a composite roll, consisting of a steel core and a copper-alloy sleeve, the heat is finally removed by cooling water flowing through internal cooling channels. In the present study, design of the channels was improved using finite-element analysis in the aspects of structural as well as fatigue strengths.
