Horizontal continuous casting process has been successfully implemented in Alcan for the production of T-ingots of primary aluminium and foundry alloys. Ability to achieve increased productivity targets and reduce production costs relies on a fundamental understanding of key process characteristics and operating parameters. Thanks to the long-standing experience in vertical DC Casting, numerical modelling appeared as a powerful approach to understand phenomena related to metal flow, solidification and ultimately defect formation. As part of a collaborative R&D program, a global model of horizontal casting process, integrating specialized sub-models on critical aspects of the process such as meniscus dynamics, is being developed. Experimental characterization of primary and secondary cooling is performed in parallel with modelling work to provide the information necessary to properly characterize mould heat transfer. This paper will present the development of a 3D process model of T-ingot casting along with its application to solve specific process challenges that have emerged during the first years of production in the plant.

Electron Backscattering Diffraction (EBSD) is an important tool for analyzing the crystal grain orientation of a microstructure and can be used to formulate conclusions about microtexture, texture determined from individual grains. This technique has been used to study a 6xxx series aluminum alloy's response to the deformation of the extrusion process. Extrusion is the process by which a billet of material is forced, under high pressure, through a die. The material undergoes a significant decrease in cross sectional area, and is formed into a shape equivalent to the geometry of the die orifice. Different bearing lands are shown in shown in Figure 1. These surfaces form the part, and are designed to control the metal flow making it uniform through the die, thus yielding good mechanical properties. This research was focused on the resultant microstructure. The shaded regions of Figure 2 show the two surface regions where EBSD measurements were taken.
