Computer modelling for thin strip twin-roll casting

Abstract

In twin-roll casting, the influence of the heat-transfer rate at the metal–mold boundary on the thickness and the proportion of solidifying metal at the exit from the water-cooled roller mold is analyzed. The corresponding analytical curves are plotted for the production of moderate-carbon and stainless steel strip (thickness 1–6 mm). The proposed method may be used in the development of twin-roll technology and equipment.
