Abstract

The formation mechanism of the line segregation in twin-roll casting (TRC) 3003 aluminium alloy was investigated. Results revealed that line segregations exhibited in the as-cast microstructures of 3003 TRC strips, depending on the different electromagnetic parameters, the position of the line segregations appeared at the center, lower, upper layers of the strips. The formation of the line segregations took place during the solidification, alloying elements were pushed towards and gathered at the center line and the resulted in the formation of the center line segregation. The dual-wave interference was the reason the changes of the position of the line segregation, when the weakened zone of the dual-wave interference appeared at the lower or upper layer of the melts, the position of the line segregation changed accordingly, when the weakened zone of the dual-wave interference appeared at the center line, the line segregation diminished.
