A vertical type tandem twin roll caster which can cast clad strip was devised and assembled. The casting of the clad strip was tried. The three layers clad strip could be cast by a vertical type tandem twin roll caster at only one process. The clad strip was connected directly from AA8079 and AA6022 at roll speed of 30m/min. The diffusion area between the strips was very narrow. The interface between the strips was clear and flat. The strips were bonded firmly.

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.

Strip casting of Al-40%Sn-1%Cu, which is an aluminum alloy used for sliding bearings, was attempted using an unequal diameter twin roll caster. The conditions required to cast sound strips, including the roll speed, molten temperature, roll load, solidification length, melt head, and use of an upper plate, were investigated. The roll load required to make a stable strip surface was 0.01 kN/mm, and the porosity was minimum when the solidification time was less than 0.6 s. The solidification time was controlled by the roll speed and the solidification length. The casting temperature must be set below 670°C to properly solidify the molten metal, and the metal microstructure became finer as the melt head decreased.

Porosity occurred in the 5182 aluminum alloy strip cast by a vertical type high speed twin roll caster. The porosity was caused by high-roll-speed and low-roll-load. Improvement of the porosity was tried by a scraper. The scraper was mounted on the roll, and the scraper was moveable depend on the thickness of the solidified layer on the roll. The scraper scribed the semisolid layer to improve the porosity. The scraper was useful to decrease the porosity of roll cast 5182 aluminum alloy strip.

Fe Addition

Roll casting of the model alloy of recycled AA5182 aluminum alloy was investigated. Fe up to 0.6% was added to the AA5182 to make the model alloys of recycled AA5182. Increase of 0.6% of Fe means that the recycle was three times operated. A vertical type high speed twin roll caster was used. Some devices were operated on the twin roll caster to increase the cooling rate in order to make impurity fine. The roll speed could be increased up to 80m/min. The roll-castability did not become worse by the addition of the Fe. The LDR (limiting Drawing Ratio) was 1.9 when the Fe addition was 0.6. The deterioration of the mechanical properties by the addition of impurity Fe was very small.

Casting of clad strip consisting of Al-30vol%SiCp and 1070 aluminum alloy, and clad strip consisting of AM60 magnesium alloy and AZ121 magnesium alloy was carried out in an oxidizing atmosphere by two types of twin roll casters. One was the vertical type twin roll caster equipped with a scraper and the other was the melt drag type vertical type twin roll caster, both operating at a speed of 30 m/min and a roll load of 0.2 kN/mm. The clad strip of the aluminum alloys could be cast by both twin roll casters. The clad strip of the magnesium alloys could be cast only by the vertical caster equipped with a scraper. The clad strips were bonded strongly at the interface in spite of the high roll speed and the low roll load.

Vibrating Plate

Among the problems encountered when roll casting Al-405Sn-1%Cu, which is an aluminum alloy used for sliding plate bearings in large maritime diesel engines, are solidified chips embedded in the strip and scratch marks on the lower roll contact surface. In this study, three different improvement methods aimed at eliminating these particular defects—vibrating the side plates and back dam plate, adding a vibrating plate, and varying the casting conditions—are examined. Vibrating the side plates and dam plate was found to be effective for preventing these defects, while adding another vibrating plate was comparatively less effective. As for casting conditions, it was also determined that the occurrence of these defects could be reduced by increasing the roll speed, and that the molten metal casting temperature had little or no influence on defect formation.

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%.

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.
