Combined Technology of Aluminum Alloy Vertical Casting and Simultaneous Deformation

Resumo

Technology is developed combining continuous vertical casting of metals with simultaneous deformation, and the device operating principle and implementation of this technology are described. Data are provided for the design features and functioning of the device. Results of experimental studies of AD0 and D16 alloy billets are provided. It is shown that this technology makes it possible in a short production cycle to prepare long metal objects at a rate of 2 m/min. The blanks obtained exhibit a fine-grained structure with a grain size not exceeding 7 μm, and also increased hardness, inferior to the maximum possible by 23%.
