Simulation of Temperature Field during Semi-Solid Magnesium Alloy Produced by Casting-Rolling Technology

Abstract:

The temperature fields during semi-solid magnesium alloy produced by casting-rolling technology has been simulated by finite element method on the basis of ANSYS. The temperature fields for different conditions were obtained, which is consistent with the experimental results. Results show that there is a high temperature field in the casting and rolling zone. The temperature fluctuates from the center to edge of the strip near the entry of the casting and rolling zone. but The temperature decreases gradually from the center to edge of the strip near the exit of the casting and rolling zone. There are some remarkable effects of the temperature of the casting and rolling, the velocity of the casting and rolling, the gap of two roll, the cooling of the roll and the diameter of the roll on the temperature field, which are in agreement with the experimental results.
