Modern manufacturing technologies of flat cold-rolled products made of aluminium and its alloys are based on raw materials produced with the use of continuous casting technology. One of the most frequently used integrated production processes, based on continuous casting of metal, is twin roll casting method (TRC). In TRC method liquid metal flows into the area formed by two water-cooled rolls, solidifies and next is deformed (rolled) which allows to obtain strip with several millimetres thickness. Thanks to this, it is possible to eliminate hot rolling stage from the typical production technology, and directly subject obtained sheets to cold rolling process.This paper presents results of cold rolling strain dependency on the mechanical properties of tested aluminium alloys from 1XXX, 3XXX and 8XXX series, produced in the laboratory conditions with the use of TRC method. Furthermore the rolling loads and basic mechanical properties, determined in an uniaxial tensile, were examined.

Cast Aluminium

The material and mechanical properties of cast aluminium alloys, produced using various casting technologies, have been investigated experimentally. In this study, several casting processes were selected, including gravity casting (GC), cold-chamber diecasting (CD), hot-chamber diecasting (HD), squeeze diecasting (SQ), twin rolled continuous casting (TRC) and heated mould continuous casting (HMC). Although all cast samples were made of the same aluminium alloy of Al-Si-Cu (ADC12), different material properties were obtained, in particular microstructural characteristics, crystal orientation and residual stress. In this instance, the microstructures of the GC and CD samples were formed mainly of coarse α-Al phase and needle-shaped eutectic structures; and a microstructure of fine round grain and tiny eutectic structures were observed for the HC, TRC and HMC samples. On the other hand, spherical shaped α-Al phase with a relatively large size was detected in SQ. The different microstructural characteristics led to different mechanical properties. A uniformly orientated lattice structure was detected in the HMC and SQ samples, which gave high material ductility. High internal compressive stress high dislocation density, arising from the rolling process, led to the high tensile properties for the TRC procedure. Various cast defects, such as blow holes and shrinkage porosity, were detected in GC and CD, which gave a reduction in their tensile properties.
