Numerical analysis of direct-chill casting of aluminum ingot
Direct chill (DC) semi-continuous casting is the most efficient way to produce large aluminum ingots. This process consists of three main stages; transient stage, steady-state stage, and post-drop stage. During transient stage, the ingot is subjected to rapid cooling rate and thus resulted in the …

Experimental observations and analysis of macrosegregation in rolling slab ingots
… This unprecedented demand drives aluminum casting methods towards increased productivity looking to, cast larger ingots faster. The unfortunate consequence of this approach is an enhanced variation of metallurgical properties over the cross section of slab ingots. Rolling slab ingots of …

To Enable the Processing of New Complex High Performance Alloys by Improving the Capacity and Performance of Continuous Casting Equipment
… of high quality rods. However, continuous casting has good potential to also be adapted to the mass production of various copper alloy wires. <br/><br/>Comparison of the continuous casting process to other thermal methods such as continuous extrusion highlighted that, in general, the …

Large area cellulose nanocrystal self-assembly: towards sustainable pigments
… I discuss how the suspension properties, the casting parameters and drying time relate to the optical properties of the produced films. To validate the use of such materials for pigment preparation, I develop a protocol to produce a series of coloured microparticles from R2R-cast CNC films. …

Investigation of meniscus region behavior and oscillation mark formation in steel continuous casting using a transient thermo-fluid model
In the continuous casting of steel, many complex phenomena in the meniscus region of the mold are responsible for the formation of oscillation marks. Oscillation marks are depressions found around the perimeter of continuously cast steel slabs, which if too large can lead to cracking in steel …

Transient thermo-fluid model of meniscus behavior and slag consumption in steel continuous casting
… to conduct a parametric study on the effect of casting speed, stroke, frequency, and modification ratio on slag consumption. Slag consumption per unit strand area increase with increase of stroke and modification ratio, and decreases with increase of casting speed while the relation with …
