Abstract

This study examines sheets produced using twin-roll casting (TRC) and melt conditioned twin-roll casting (MCTRC) to evaluate the effect of melt conditioning on segregation pattern and grain refinement. To produce sheets through the MTCRC technique, melt conditioning using high shear technology (high-speed rotor) was applied to Al-5 Mg alloys, before subjecting the melt to TRC. A low shear slope was used to prepare a commercially pure aluminum ingot. The mean grain size obtained for slope processed samples with vibration at a pouring temperature of 780°C is 69.4 µm, decreasing to 62.5 µm with a 20°C decrease in pouring temperature. Samples prepared without vibration at temperatures of 780°C and 760°C exhibit grain sizes of 85.172 and 77.8 µm, respectively. Additionally, the average grain size of Al-5 Mg alloy sheets produced using TRC is around 270 µm, which decreases to 230 µm for sheets produced using MCTRC. The grain size data comparison of the samples prepared using high shear technology and those with a low shear slope indicate successful results of grain refinement in both cases. However, it is advantageous to produce sheets using the low shear slope method as compared to the high shear technology, because of the low setup costs.

双辊铸造细化铝合金熔体的显微组织和显微硬度分析
本研究考察了采用双辊铸造(TRC)和熔体条件双辊铸造(MCTRC)生产的薄板,以评估熔体条件对偏析模式和晶粒细化的影响。为了通过MTCRC技术生产板材,采用高剪切技术(高速转子)对al - 5mg合金进行熔体调理,然后对熔体进行TRC。采用低剪切坡法制备了工业纯铝锭。在780℃浇注温度下,振动对坡面试样的平均晶粒尺寸为69.4µm,浇注温度每降低20℃,平均晶粒尺寸降至62.5µm。在780°C和760°C无振动条件下制备的样品的晶粒尺寸分别为85.172和77.8µm。此外,使用TRC生产的al - 5mg合金板材的平均晶粒尺寸约为270µm,使用MCTRC生产的板材的平均晶粒尺寸降至230µm。采用高剪切技术制备的样品与采用低剪切斜率制备的样品的粒度数据比较表明,两种情况下的晶粒细化都取得了成功的结果。然而,与高剪切技术相比,使用低剪切斜率法生产薄板是有利的,因为设置成本低。
