Influence of Wiper Height on 7A55 Slabs

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, weak water cooling technology by wiper is introduced for the casting of 520×1650 mm 7A55 alloy slabs. By analyzing from experiment comprehensively, it indicates that the position of wiper will exert big influence on slab quality. Under the conditions of the experiment, if wiper height is below the bottom of sump, there will be more than 70% possibility for slab to have cracks. If it is excessively higher than 80 mm, the top of the sump, porosity will incur and macro-segregation will be enlarged. The experiment determines the correct height of wiper.
