Abstract

The effect of substrate surface conditions on the heat transfer and morphology of solidifying shells of a copper alloy has been characterized by a series of dip tests. Results showed that in the early stages of solidification, rough and grooved surface conditions provide a greater heat transfer than polished ones. The shells solidified on rough and grooved surfaces had significant localized variations in thickness, indicating that heat transfer at the substrate-metal interface was not uniform. The implication of these results on strip casting is discussed.
