Abstract:Direct chill (DC) casting has been considered as one of the promising casting methods that can be used to produce aluminum alloys billet. The process is conducted by pouring aluminum metal into a water-cooled mold. The billet shell begins to form when molten aluminum contact directly with the mold (this is also known as primary cooling). Afterward, the starting block is pulled downwards at a specified casting speed to achieve desired aluminum billet. The start-up phase during the DC casting process is consider… Show more
