Dynamic studies of surface formation in strip casting

带坯连铸是制造铝金属板的重要工艺，提供了将液态金属形成其固体形状的步骤。 该成型工艺以最佳方式完成，以满足最终材料的特定要求。 其中一个关键要求是高度的表面质量，在广泛的合金和加工条件下保持。 本研究的重点是发展一个基本的了解表面形成过程中的薄带连铸。 研究成果之一将是一个数学模型，以预测加工条件对表面质量的影响。 该研究的主要目的是使更广泛的铝板产品能够用于汽车组件，从而利用其重量轻和优异的耐腐蚀性来制造更高效的汽车。

Strip casting is an important process utilized in the fabrication of aluminum sheet metal, providing the step where liquid metal is formed into its solid shape.  This forming process is done optimally to meet specific requirements in the final material.  One of the critical requirements is a high degree of surface quality, maintainable across a wide range of alloys and processing conditions.  The focus of this research is to develop a basic understanding of the surface formation process in strip casting.  One outcome of the research will be a  mathematical model to predict the influence of processing conditions on surface quality.  A primary objective of the research is to enable a wider range of aluminum sheet products to be utilized in automotive assemblies, thus taking advantage of its low weight and excellent corrosion resistance in building more efficient automobiles.
