AZCa912, 8.8mass%Al-0.68mass%Zn-0.25mass%Mn-1.9mass%Ca-Bal.Mg, continuous casting bars were formed and their hot compression properties were measured. AZCa912 alloy is a noncombustible magnesium alloy. AZCa912 bars 50 mm in diameter were formed by a direct chill continuous casting method. The surfaces of the bars had excellent metallic luster. Grain sizes in the bars were 148, and the dendrite arm spacing was 16.9 μm. Cracks on the side surfaces of the samples were formed by compression at 250-300°C, 0.01-1/s and 350°C, 1/s. However, inner cracks were not observed and-5 μm fine-grains were formed. Some samples had an unchanged casting structure after hot pressing, and the percent of the structure remaining unchanged decreased with low-temperature compression.

With the cladding casting equipment, which was self-designed and self-made, 4045/3003 composite ingot, which is in size of Φ140mm/Φ110mm, has been manufactured by direct cooling continuous casting by adjusting and optimizing the technological parameters. The process was investigated involving macro-morphology and microstructure near the interface between the two different aluminum alloys at different positions, and distributions of both components and hardness of the cladding ingot. In addition, the tensile strengths were tested. The results showed that metallurgical bonding of two different aluminum alloys could be obtained by direct-chill semi-continuous casting process. The diffusion layer, which is about 15μm on average, has formed on the two sides of composite interface during casting process. From the side of 4045 aluminum alloy to the side of 3003 aluminum alloy, the Si content has a trend to decrease, as well as the hardness, while the Mn content has a trend to increase gradually. Tensile strength of the coated ingot reaches 117.3MPa, which is higher than the core-material matrix (3003 aluminum alloy), indicating the bonding of the two alloys belongs to metallurgical bonding.

A two-dimensional (2-D) heat transfer and solidification model has been established and applied to calculate the temperature distribution and solid shell thickness profile of a continuous casting slab in a steel plant. A finite difference method was used for the numerical simulation. For thermal analysis, the 2-D slice unsteady-state heat conduction equation with enthalpy convention was used. Meanwhile, non-linear material properties of specific heat and thermal conductivity as well as phase changes during solidification were considered in the model. The temperature distribution and solid shell thickness calculated by mathematical model agree with those predicted by industrial and experimental measurements. The model could also be used to predict the optimum process parameters on casting speed, heat removal rates and the water distribution of secondary cooling zone.

A method for manufacturing composite ingot of 4045/3004/4045 aluminum alloy using direct-chill (DC) casting was introduced. The casting process, the temperature distribution near the composite interface and the macro- and microstructures were investigated. The results show that composite interface is well-bonded, planar and clean with little evidence of porosity, which belongs to a kind of metallurgical bonding. Also semi-solid layer with a certain thickness is formed under the effect of cooling plate, which can ensure the realization of casting process of composite ingot.
