Continuous casting processes converts molten aluminium alloys directly into an endless coiled strip suitable for cold rolling or wire-bars for wire-drawing. They effectively
The principles of aluminium alloy sheet processing, the main configurations and process parameters and the metallurgical effects involved are
The economical operation of the Bayer process requires the rational use of energy for steam generation and calcining. Inexpensive fuel is desirable because the process
While technical and operational details for the two processes are different, the basic result is a 5-mm to 6-mm strip solidified at >100°C/s. Three important
In step 1 – the hot strip production process – traditionally the molten metal is cast after refin-ing and alloying processes into 10 to 25-ton slabs in semi-continuous casters, then
Although most sheet is produced by conventional hot mills, some considerable effort has been made by aluminium producers in the United States, Canada and Europe to reduce
The aluminum strip slitting process is a critical step in aluminum manufacturing, ensuring the production of highquality strips that meet customer specifications. By
Al-Mg alloy sheets with high Mg contents (3∼10wt%Mg) were fabricated by twin roll strip casting. The optimum process conditions to get a good surface quality of
Aluminum strip processing. Lightweight automotive components with advanced material quality. Aluminum has a high specific strength - components with the same
