Abstract
Abstract Based on CAFE theory and KGT model, the twin-roll strip casting mathematical model was established to solve the dendrite growth and solidification of T2 copper alloy in the molten pool. The influence mechanism of casting temperature, heat transfer, and other technological conditions on the microstructure of strip was analyzed. The results showed that the liquid metal formed 35 µm chilling layer after touching the rollers, and the layer was consisted of a high number of small and equiaxed crystals. Then some grains would appear close to the newly chilling layer, and grow toward the core of molten pool competitively. The dominant grains mainly grew along the 〈001〉 orientation into columnar crystals, and the rest grains that grew out of alignment were eliminated gradually. The number of grains declined, and the radius of columnar grains became coarsening. The Kiss point is a key factor for solidification structure, and the lower location of the Kiss point could limit the growth spaces of columnar crystals, which refined the grains.
期刊介绍:
High Temperature Materials and Processes offers an international publication forum for new ideas, insights and results related to high-temperature materials and processes in science and technology. The journal publishes original research papers and short communications addressing topics at the forefront of high-temperature materials research including processing of various materials at high temperatures. Occasionally, reviews of a specific topic are included. The journal also publishes special issues featuring ongoing research programs as well as symposia of high-temperature materials and processes, and other related research activities.
Emphasis is placed on the multi-disciplinary nature of high-temperature materials and processes for various materials in a variety of states. Such a nature of the journal will help readers who wish to become acquainted with related subjects by obtaining information of various aspects of high-temperature materials research. The increasing spread of information on these subjects will also help to shed light on relevant topics of high-temperature materials and processes outside of readers’ own core specialties.
