Thermal Flow-Solidification Simulation and Analysis of Strip Defects in Vertical Twin-Roll Casting of Magnesium Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

A quantitative understanding of the twin-roll casting process is required to get high quality as-cast magnesium alloy strips. In this paper, a thermal flow-solidification simulation was carried out to study the behavior of casting zone and its effects on defects generation deeply. Results show that a lower pouring temperature is not suitable for producing defect-free magnesium alloy strips. With increasing of the casting speed, the tendency of cracks formation will getting smaller because of the more uniform temperature distribution. A low pool level leads to a small metal-roll contact area, and a sharp temperature distribution will generates under this situation, which is not good for strips quality.
