The Use of Water Cooling during the Continuous Casting of Steel and Aluminum Alloys
In both continuous casting of steel slabs and direct chill (DC) casting of aluminum alloy ingots, water is used to cool the mold in the initial stages of solidification, and then below the mold, where it is in direct contact with the newly solidified surface of the metal. Water cooling affects the product quality by (1) controlling the heat removal rate that creates and cools the solid shell an...
متن کاملUnderstanding the Role Water-cooling Plays during Continuous Casting of Steel and Aluminum Alloys
Water-cooling plays a major role in extracting heat from both the mold and solidifying metal during the continuous casting of steel and aluminum alloys and is characterized by complex boiling phenomena. Heat extraction rates during water-cooling, which have strong dependence on the metal surface temperature, can rapidly change with time as the strand cools down. Consequently, uncontrolled cooli...
متن کاملEFFECT OF THE INCLINED COOLING PLATE CHARACTERISTICS ON THE THIXOTROPIC MICROSTRUCTURE OF A356.0 ALUMINUM ALLOY
In the present work microstructural evolution of A356 Aluminum alloy using an inclined cooling plate casting process for thixoforming feedstock production is investigated. The resultant microstructure was evaluated and compared with those of the same alloy produced by the conventional casting process, i.e. directly cast in the same mold without using an inclined cooling plate. It was found that...
متن کاملAluminum and Aluminum Alloys Casting Problems
Aluminum castings have played an integral role in the growth of the aluminum industry since its inception in the late 19th century. The first commercial aluminum products were castings, such as cooking utensils and decorative parts, which exploited the novelty and utility of the new metal. Those early applications rapidly expanded to address the requirements of a wide range of engineering speci...
متن کاملAging and Mechanical Behavior of Be-Treated 7075 Aluminum Alloys
The present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of pre-aging and aging parameters (time and temperature) on the mechanical properties of Al-Mg-Zn (7075) alloys. Ultimate tensile strength, 0.5% offset yield strength and % elongation measurements were carried out on specimens prepared from cast and heat treated 7075 alloys. Aging treatments were carried out for the as solution treated ...
