In order to achieve the industrial application of ultrasonic energy in the continuous casting and rolling production of aluminum alloy, a new type of L-shaped ultrasonic rod was used to introduce an ultrasonic bending vibration into the aluminum melt in the launder during the horizontal twin-roll continuous casting and rolling process of a 1060 aluminum alloy. The effects of the ultrasonic bending vibration on the microstructure and properties of the 1060 aluminum alloy cast rolling strip and its subsequent cold rolling strip were studied experimentally, and the effect of the ultrasonic-assisted refining with different amounts of Al-Ti-B refiner was explored. The results show that under the same addition amount of Al-Ti-B refiner, the ultrasonic bending vibration can refine the grains of the cast rolling strip, make the distribution of precipitates more uniform, reduce the slag inclusion defects, and improve the mechanical properties to a certain extent. The microstructure and properties of the ultrasonic cast rolling strip with 0.18 wt% Al-Ti-B refiner or 0.12 wt% Al-Ti-B refiner are better than those of the conventional cast rolling strip, but the microstructure and properties of the ultrasonic cast rolling strip with 0.09 wt% Al-Ti-B refiner are slightly worse than those of the conventional cast rolling strip. Moreover, after cold rolling, the effect of the ultrasonic bending vibration on the improvement of the microstructure and properties of the aluminum alloy strip is inherited. A comprehensive analysis shows that the use of ultrasonic energy in this paper cannot completely replace the effect of the Al-Ti-B refiner, but it can reduce the addition amount of the Al-Ti-B refiner by 1/3.

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%.

In this paper, the effect of magnetostatic field on the microstructure and microsegregation of 7075 aluminum alloy strip by twin-roll casting is researched , and the result shows that when no electromagnetic field is applied during the process of roll-casting , the microstructure of 7075 strip is most composed of coarse columnar and dendritic crystal , the direction of grains is equal to roll-casting direction. When the magnetostatic field with 0.13T intensity is applied during the twin-roll casting, the microstructural of strip becomes uniform ,refined and equiaxed at the central zone of strip, and the dendritic crystal at the surficial is disordered and refined significantly.

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.

A small projection with a height and width of about 40 and 50 µm, respectively, was formed on a twin-roll-cast A356 aluminum alloy sheet by cold rolling at a rolling speed of 0.5 m/min. This projection was then used as a die to form a groove with a depth and width of about 40 and 50 µm, respectively, on a polyethylene terephthalate plate by pressing.

Rapidly Solidified

Refining grain plays an important role in improving the mechanical properties of aluminum alloys. However, the conventional casting method with a slow cooling rate can be easy to cause coarseness of the microstructure and serious segregation. In this paper, the rapid solidification of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy was prepared by the single-roller belt method. The alloy strip was studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and hardness test to study the microstructure and properties of the rapidly solidified aluminum alloy. The results show that the roller speed was an important parameters affecting the formability of the alloy. When the roller speed was 15 m/s, the aluminum alloy produced a thin bandwidth of 5 mm and a thickness of 150 um. As the rotation speed of the roller increased, the cooling rate of the melt increased, and the microstructure of the rapidly solidified Al-Zn-Mg-Cu aluminum alloy strip improved in grains refinement. Compared with the conventionally cast Al-Zn-Mg-Cu aluminum alloys, the Al-Zn-Mg-Cu aluminum alloys prepared by rapid solidification showed much finer crystal grains, and enhanced solid solubility of alloying elements with less precipitation of second phase and high hardness.

In this study, a twin-roll casting sheet of 6061 aluminum alloy was cooled using furnace, asbestos, air, wind and water. The effect of cooling rate on the microstructure and properties of twin-roll casting 6061 aluminum alloy sheet were studied. Optical microscope, scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, microhardness tester and universal tensile machine were used to observe the microstructure and properties of twin-roll casting sheet of 6061 aluminum alloy. The results show that the higher the cooling rate, the smaller the grain size of the alloy and the smaller the number of precipitated phases in the matrix. Uniform grain size of the alloy could be obtained at a stable cooling rate. The hardness, tensile strength and elongation of the twin-roll casting sheet increased with cooling rate. Under wind cooling condition, the twin-roll casting sheet demonstrated excellent comprehensive performance, i.e., 88 MPa of yield strength, 178 MPa of tensile strength and 15% of elongation, respectively. A quantitative Hall–Petch relation was established to predict the yield strength of 6061 twin-roll casting sheets with different grain sizes and cooling rate.

The effect of the base strip temperature on the bonding between base strip and overlay strips in a three-layer clad strip cast by a vertical-type tandem twin roll caster was investigated. The base strip was 3003 aluminum alloy and the overlay strip was 4045 aluminum alloy. The bonding was investigated for base strip temperatures ranging from 200 °C to 550 °C. The bonding condition was investigated by cold-rolling, bending-to-failure test and tensile shear test. The shear stress increased with the base strip temperature. Sound bonding was achieved at base strip temperatures higher than 450 °C. The results of this study indicated that the second caster is not required to be set below the first roll caster.
