Improvement of Free Solidified Surface of Strip Cast Using a Single Roll Caster by Scribing Semisolid Layer

Abstract:

AA5182 alloy was cast using the single roll caster equipped with the scraper. Improvement of flatness of the free solidified surface of the strip cast by a single roll caster was tried by scribing of semisolid layer using a scraper. The semisolid layer could be scribed and be made flat by the scraper. The scribing force was controlled by a dead weight. Defects which occurred on the scribed surface were investigated. The property of the free solidified surface (scribed surface) was compared with roll contact surface by the deep drawing test. The property of the scribed surface was almost as same as that of the roll contact surface. Mechanical property was investigated by the tension test.
