In twin-roll casting, the melt is cooled, solidified and rolled to a specific thickness only by the rolls and consequently a lot of heat is transferred from the melt to the rolls through the melt/roll interface. In a composite roll, consisting of a steel core and a copper-alloy sleeve, the heat is finally removed by cooling water flowing through internal cooling channels. In the present study, design of the channels was improved using finite-element analysis in the aspects of structural as well as fatigue strengths.

Horizontal twin-roll casting is utilized to produce thin strips of light metals, suchas aluminum or magnesium alloys. However, since the melt flow in the roll gap is asymmetric due to the gravity, microstructure distributions become asymmetric resulting in uneven mechanical properties. In the present investigation, the nozzle for ejecting the melt of Al-1100 was designed and improved for the melt flow to be symmetric by finite element analysis.

Twin-roll casting is an efficient and economical process to fabricate metal sheets since it combines solidification and rolling in one process. However, this process requires a careful control because several phenomena, such as heat transfer, solidification, fluid flow and solid deformation, occur simultaneously. In the present study, a rigid-thermo-viscoplastic finite-element analysis was utilized to understand these complex phenomena occurring in a vertical twin-roll casting of an aluminum alloy. As a result several interesting findings were obtained including the development of two symmetrically identical vortexes at the roll entrance.

Abstract Copper alloy C19210 have excellent corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and conductivity, and is used for precision electronic parts such as lead frame materials. Conventionally, copper alloy strips are manufactured by repeating heat treatment and cold rolling, and have a problem that it is multi-process and production cost is expensive. On the other hand, twin roll casting can improve the above problems because strips are made directly from molten metals. In this study, twin roll strip casting of copper alloy C19210 using commercial scale machine was operated. The aims of this study is to investigate the possibility of strip casting for copper alloy. The effect of the side dam and release agent was researched. The effect of rolls speed on the strip surface condition was researched. The improved side dam prevented molten metal leakage. The release agent prevented sticking of the manufactured strip to the roll surface. The strip produced at roll speed of 7 m/min and 10 m/min had a lot of metallic luster. Moreover, the strip produced at roll speed of 7 m/min had more metallic luster than the strip produced at roll speed of 10 m/min. The lower the roll speed is, the greater the rolling load is. At a roll speed of 7 m / min, the rolling load became the maximum rolling load of the equipment. For producing strips with copper alloy C19210, higher rolling loads are preferred.
