Abstract

The formation mechanism of center segregation in twin-roll cast (TRC) Al–Mg strips was studied. The center segregation was found to gradually change from channel segregation to a segregation band with increasing casting speed. Deformation induced by the roll separating force (RSF) was the main mechanism of center segregation in the TRC strips. The dilatant behavior of dendrite cells under the RSF appears to be the main mechanism for the formation of segregation band. At relatively low casting speeds, a low compression rate can cause the liquid to squeeze toward the transverse and melt pool directions to form channel segregation.
