Abstract

In this study, we performed semisolid continuous casting of the 5052 aluminum alloy using an inclined cooling plate to obtain the finest grain size in the cast structure. Although the solid-liquid coexistence zone of the 5052 alloy is narrower than that of the AC4CH alloy, the inclined cooling plate is useful to obtain the semisolid slurry of this alloy. The casting conditions in this experiment were pouring temperatures onto the inclined cooling plate, length and angles of the cooling plate and the casting speed. The billet surface is smooth and the average grain size in the cast structure is 60μm except the outer surface.
