Abstract

The mechanism and region of burr formation in casting using a vertical-type high-speed twin-roll caster were investigated using a side-dam plate with a window. A383, an aluminum alloy typically used for casting due to its excellent fluidity at semisolid condition was used. The solid fraction of the semisolid metal ejected from the window was low. When solid metal was ejected from the window, no burr formed. The results suggest that a burr formed when the semisolid metal was ejected in gap between the side-dam plate and the side surface of a roll. The semisolid metal was ejected near the point where the semisolid metal on the two rolls met.
