Continuous Casting Process

Microstructure assessment is crucial for the design and production of high-quality alloys such as cast aluminum alloy ingots. Along with the effect of a more homogeneous microstructure to result in much better mechanical properties, better as-cast alloy quality indicates a higher efficiency of the aluminum alloys production process. During the aluminum alloy solidification process many microstructural defects can occur, which deteriorate the mechanical properties and hence decrease the usability of such an ingot. Application of the electromagnetic field during the vertical continuous casting process significantly reduces occurrence of these defects. In the present study, EN AW 7075 alloy samples were cast with and without application of an electromagnetic field and examined regarding the microstructure, electrical conductivity, and changes in the phase composition. The obtained results clearly show that it is possible to decrease or avoid casting defects by the electromagnetic field application as verified by the microstructure characterization and quantification, electrical conductivity tests and differential thermal analysis (DTA).

Continuous Casting Process

In order to understand the solidification behavior in the semi-continuous casting process of 7B50 aluminum alloy, a thermo-mechanical model for the analysis of 7B50 aluminum alloy solidification process is presented, this model considering liquid-solid phase-change effects for the solidification alloy. The thermal contact conductance between the mould wall and the ingot, the convective heat transfer coefficient are taken into account in the model. The distribution of temperature and stress in the process of semi-continuous casting of 7B50aluminum alloy are analyzed in three-dimensional finite element methods based on the above models. The variation of casting speed to influence the temperature and stress of the ingot in the process of semi-continuous casting is studied.

Electromagnetic Continuous Casting

A new method and apparatus for the fabrication of high-quality, near net shaped aluminum alloy billets is developed by the combination of continuous casting and electromagnetic casting/stirring technique. Traditional machine for continuous casting process involves round, square and rectangular billets; therefore it requires additional multistep forging process to fabricate final products of complicated shape. A new process for the fabrication of near net shaped aluminum billets offers some advantages: the process of extrusion and forging is simplified and the cost of plastic working can be greatly reduced. In order to reduce the peculiar problems such as surface crack and internal defect due to inhomogeneous heat transfer of solidified billets, electromagnetic casting and stirring technique were adopted. The effect of electromagnetic field was compared by observing the microstructure of billets. Grain refinement of aluminum billet was clearly observed by applying electromagnetic field to continuous casting process.
