Problems solved by technology

Metal strips are made from the same material as molten metal (not yet identified), but metal strip material can be synthesized into the final product, which is clearly unacceptable for a strip casting machine

Embodiment 1

[0044] An aluminum alloy typically used for a typical aluminum iron silicon flake product (AA1145) was cast at a thickness of 10 mm on a 0.060 inch thick belt of AA5754 aluminum alloy in a double belt test rig. The belt is textured by applying abrasive tape to its surface to produce generally longitudinal grooves with a roughness of about 25 microinches Ra (surface roughness value (Ra ) is the arithmetic mean surface roughness). Comparative samples were also cast on heavily textured steel and lightly textured copper strips. Micrographs of the surface of the material cast on steel and aluminum strips are in Figure 4a with 4b A comparison is made in , and it appears that the strip ( Figure 4a ) produced a surface segregation layer on the product, while the aluminum alloy strip ( Figure 4b ) does not. Radiographs of the interior of the cast plate fabricated on copper and aluminum alloy strips are shown in the Figure 5a with 5b A comparison is made in , and it appears t...

Embodiment 2

[0046] An aluminum magnesium (AA5754) alloy typically used in automotive applications was cast at a thickness of 10 millimeters on a 0.060 inch thick strip of AA5754 aluminum alloy on a double belt test rig. The tape was textured as described in Example 1. Comparative samples were also cast on lightly textured copper tape. Casting on steel strip was not performed due to very poor surface quality when cast on such steel strip. The radiographs (radiographs in the thickness direction) of the interior of the cast plates cast on copper and aluminum alloy strips were at Figure 6a with 6b A comparison is made in , and it appears that ribbons made of copper ( Figure 6a ) causes shell deformation in the material (the extent that appears as a spot in the radiograph), while aluminum ( Figure 6b ) does not. The optical image is also made from the surfaces of the two castings and placed on the Figure 7a with 7b A comparison is made for boards fabricated on copper and aluminum st...

Embodiment 3

[0048]An aluminum magnesium silicon (AA6111 ) alloy, also typically used in automotive applications, was cast at a thickness of 10 millimeters on a 0.060 inch thick strip of AA5754 aluminum alloy on a double belt test rig. The tape was textured as described in Example 1. Comparative samples were also cast on lightly textured copper tape. Casting on steel strip was not carried out due to the generally poor surface quality when casting on such steel strip. The optical image is made from the surfaces of the two castings and placed on the Figure 8a with 8b A comparison is made for boards fabricated on copper and aluminum strips. Figure 8a shows that the surface quality resulting from the use of copper strip in this type of casting machine is still worse than Figure 8b Shown are the surface qualities resulting from the use of aluminum strips.

Abstract

A casting belt for using in a single-belt or twin-belt casting apparatus is disclosed. The casting belt is made of aluminum alloy such as an alloy from the AA5XXX and AA6XXX systems, preferably having a thickness in the range of 1 to 2 mm. The aluminum casting belt of the invention is suitable for casting non-ferrous and light metals such as aluminum, magnesium, copper, zinc and their alloys, especially aluminum alloys such as Al-Mg, Al-Mg-Si, Al-Fe-Si and Al-Fe-Mn-Si alloy systems. A belt casting machine and process using the aluminum casting belt of the invention are also disclosed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to casting belts for continuous belt casting machines for casting non-ferrous and light metals such as aluminium, magnesium, copper, zinc and their alloys. In particular, the invention relates to metal casting strips made of materials having superior thermal and other physical properties. Background technique [0002] Twin belt casters have been used for casting metals for quite a long time. In such machines, endless belts that rotate in race-track patterns are positioned 777 up and down (or, in some cases, in parallel) and next to each other to define the individual molds therebetween. Casting belts generally run plane-parallel. Molten metal is poured into the mold at one end and the metal is pulled out of the mold through the surface of the moving casting belt. Heat from the molten metal is transferred through the casting belt, and this transfer is assisted by cooling means, such as water sprinkles, acting on opposite...
