Optimization of Technological Parameters of the Process for Obtaining a Strip by the Combined Method of Metal Casting and Deformation

Abstract:

In order to obtain high-quality metal products with the desired properties (process stability) using the combined methods of metal casting and deformation, it is necessary to take into account the specific parameters of this process and the fact that the metal in the crystallizer stays simultaneously in several physical states: liquid, liquid-solid, solid-liquid and solid. Structurally, the mold consists of four walls moving relative each other along a given sophisticated trajectory. The object of the research is the production technology from non-ferrous alloys using the combined method of continuous casting and metal pressure treatment. The thermal processes occurring in the mold of a continuous horizontal metal casting and deformation installation (CHMCDI) during the formation of metal products have been examined as a research subject. The methods of physical modeling of the thermal processes which take place in the system “crystallizing metal-tool deformation” under different conditions of the mold cooling (using closed-perforated tubes and straight-flow tubes) have been used. Subsequent data processing of the full factorial experiment using the least square method as well as solving the optimization problem by using the Pareto principle of optimality made it possible to determine the optimal parameters for the process of obtaining metal products from aluminum alloys (T_V = 40 oС; р_v = 0.7 kg / cm²; S_R = 5.8), which have been confirmed by the results of the experimental test on obtaining the strip from technical aluminum AD0 strip with a cross section of 40–12 mm.
