Abstract

A method for manufacturing composite ingot of 4045/3004/4045 aluminum alloy using direct-chill (DC) casting was introduced. The casting process, the temperature distribution near the composite interface and the macro- and microstructures were investigated. The results show that composite interface is well-bonded, planar and clean with little evidence of porosity, which belongs to a kind of metallurgical bonding. Also semi-solid layer with a certain thickness is formed under the effect of cooling plate, which can ensure the realization of casting process of composite ingot.
