A vertical type twin roll caster with two side dams was used to cast aluminium alloy strip with a thickness of about 5mm at speed higher than 10m/min. The characteristics of the twin roll caster with two side dams are as follows: The diameter of the copper roll is 500mm, the width of the copper roll is 110mm and the thickness of the copper roll sleeve is 25mm.The maximum casting speed is up to 60m/min. Using the vertical type twin roll caster, a 4.5mm thickness of 6111 strip could be cast at a speed of 30m/min. The microstructure of the as-cast strip was equiaxed and spherical, not columnar. The mechanical properties of the strip casted from the vertical type twin roll caster were almost as same as that of the strip made from the conventional cast ingot.

An inline hot rolling was operated on 5182 aluminum alloy strip cast using a vertical type high speed caster (VHSTRC) at the speed of 60 m/min. A porosity existing at center line of the thickness and a ripple mark on the surface, these are typical defects of the strip cast by the VHSTRC, could be improved by the inline rolling. The rolling speed was as same as the roll-casting-speed of 60m/min. The temperature of the strip, when the inline rolling was operated, was 450oC. The reduction of the strip of the inline rolling was 35%.

This paper shows improvements made to a vertical type tandem twin roll caster and the appropriate casting conditions necessary to cast three-layer clad strips, the base strip of which has a lower solidification temperature than the overlay strip. In experiments, 4045 aluminum alloy was used for the base strip and 3003 aluminum alloy was used for the overlay strips. The roll speed was 30 m/min. By connecting the overlay strips to the base strip one at a time and cooling the base strip to between 450 and 530°C after applying the first overlay strip, a sound three-layer clad strip – defined as one in which the interfaces between strips are clear and do not separate during bending-to-failure tests – could be cast. The tensile shear testing between the base and second overlay strip was improved as the base-strip temperature was increased to 450-530°C range.

The casting of a 600 mm-wide 5182 aluminum alloy strip was attempted using a single-roll caster equipped with a scraper. This caster could cast a strip at speeds ranging from 10 to 40 m/min. These casting speeds are much higher than that of a conventional twin-roll caster. The scraper load suitable for scribing the wide strip was investigated. The strip could be scribed at full width by the scraper. The mechanical properties of the strip were investigated using a tension test and a cup test. The tensile stress was 320 MPa and the elongation was 30%. When deep drawing was conducted, no striped pattern, which occurs via segregation, appeared when both surfaces were facing outside.
