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.

Semi-solid processing is recognized as an attractive alternative method for the near net-shape production of engineering components. Although there has been a significant progress in semi-solid processing of aluminum alloys, very limited information is available on semi-solid processing of magnesium alloys, except for the thixomolding process. Continuous casting process has been utilized to produce the billets with the desirable cross-section at a reduced production cost for many metals, such as steel, copper and aluminum alloys. It has also been commercially utilized to produce the aluminum billets with non-dendritic microstructure for subsequent thixocasting process. However, continuous casting of magnesium billets for semi-solid processing has not yet been commercialized due to the difficulties involved in casting of magnesium alloys. In the present study, a continuous casting process has been developed for the production of the cylindrical billets of magnesium alloys for the subsequent thixocasting process. In order to obtain the desired non-dendritic microstructure with an excellent degree of homogeneity both in microstructure and composition, an electromagnetic stirring system has been utilized. A continuous casting process has been proven to be an efficient way to produce the high quality billets of magnesium alloys for semi-solid processing. A prototype air conditioner cover was produced using the continuously cast billets of AZ91 alloy.

Direct Chill Casting Process

AA4045/AA3003 cladding billets with different clad ratios were fabricated by direct chill casting process. The macrostructures, microstructures, compositions distribution and the mechanical properties near the bonding interface were investigated in detail. The results show that the cladding billet with few defects could be obtained by semi-continuous casting process. The metallurgical bonding was formed due to the diffusions of elements. The decreasing of clad ratio changed the microstructure at the interface and reduced the thickness of diffusion layer. The hardness around the interface is higher than that of AA3003 side but lower than that of the other side, indicating that the interface yield strength is also higher than that of AA3003. After extrusion process, the characteristics of the interface remain that of as-cast cladding billet.

In this study, first a 3-D thermal model is developed for an open top, vertical direct chill (DC) casting process of rolling slabs (ingots) by taking into account the casting speed in the form of slag flow in the thermal connective-diffusion equation. The mushy region solidification characteristics of the process are accounted for through the implementation of the enthalpy porosity technique. The thermal model is later extended to a 3-D CFD model to account for the coupled turbulent heat transfer and solidification aspect of the process. Both models simulate an industrial-sized, hot-top type vertical Direct Chill (DC) slab caster for high strength aluminum alloy AA-7050. A staggered control volume based finite-difference scheme is used to solve the modeled equations and the associated boundary conditions. In the CFD model, the turbulent aspects of flow and solidification heat transfer are modeled using a low Reynolds number version of the k–ε eddy viscosity approach. Computed results for the steady-state phase of the casting process are presented for four casting speeds varying from 60 to 180 mm/min for a fixed inlet melt superheat of 32°C. Simulation results of the velocity and temperature fields and heat fluxes along the caster surface are presented for the CFD model and the shell thickness and sump depth are compared between the CFD and thermal models.

The Stability

Nozzle blockage is easy to take place in continuous casting process when producing 38CrMoAl steel due to high content of aluminum ([Al]=0.7%~1.1%). Slag-steel reaction will lead to large transformation for composition of molten steel and performance of slag on the condition of traditional high content of SiO2 in slag. And it will reduce the cleanliness of steel as well. The control target of refining slag and tundish powder has been gotten through the analysis of refining & continuous casting characteristics of high aluminum steel. Based on this, the content of Si and Al in molten steel can be controlled accurately, and the cleanliness of steel has gone to a higher level. Moreover, mold powder with high basicity and vitrification ensures the stability of slag after sorbing Al2O3 inclusions in theory. Continuous casting can be carried out successfully with the control of inclusion morphology through slag washing during tapping. Industrial practice shows that Si content is 0.25%~0.40%, Al content is 0.80%~1.00%, S content is below 0.004% and T[O] is below 0.0015% in steel products. Moreover, casting bloom with good surface quality is achieved, and the rate of bloom without cleaning is as high as 100%. With all these countermeasures, 38CrMoAl steel can be continuously cast for more than 6 heats.

Direct Chill Casting Process

High strength aluminum alloys Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-(0.1) Ni produced by semi-direct chill casting process were homogenized at different conditions then conducted heat treatment process which comprised pre-aging at 120°C for 24 h, retrogression at 180°C for 30 min, and then re-aging at 120°C for 24 h. Microstructural studies showed that add Ni (0.1 wt %) to the alloy will be forming Ni-rich phases such as AlCuNi, AlNi, AlNiFe and AlMgNi which provide a dispersive strengthening affected in the solid-solution and the subsequent heat treatments. The results showed that by this three-step process of heat treatments, the mechanical properties of aluminum alloys Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-(0.1) Ni were substantially improved. The highest attain for the ultimate tensile strength and Vickers hardness for the alloy sample after applied the retrogression and reaging process is about 545 MPa and 237 HV respectively.
