Abstract: A casting roller or belt for a revolving chill mould of a strip casting system is provided for the manufacture of an aluminium alloy strip. The strip casting system for manufacturing the aluminium alloy strip includes at least one such revolving chill mould with a casting gap. In the casting roller or belt of the strip casting system, adhesion to the casting roller or belt is avoided during strip casting, and a low-segregation and crack-free aluminium alloy strip can be produced under industrial conditions. This is achieved by utilizing a specific surface structure of the casting roller or belt in which a roughness value Sa is more than 5 ?m and an average peak count RPc (0.5 ?m) is less than 42 cm?1.

A method for manufacturing an aluminium alloy strip by means of a strip casting system. The object of providing a casting roller or belt or a strip casting system, by means of which, adhesion to the casting roller or belt is avoided during strip casting and a low-segregation and crack-free aluminium alloy strip can be produced, in particular under industrial conditions, is achieved by a specific surface structure, in that the surface of the casting roller or belt has a roughness value Sa of more than 5 ?m and an average peak count RPc(0.5 ?m) of less than 42 cm?1.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for the production of an aluminized packaging steel from a cold-rolled steel sheet made of an unalloyed or low-alloy steel with the following steps: a. heating of the steel sheet by electromagnetic induction at temperatures in the recrystallization range of the steel at a heating rate of more than 75 K/s, so as to anneal the steel sheet in a recrystallizing manner; b. dipping of the steel sheet annealed in a recrystallizing manner into a molten aluminum bath, so as to apply an aluminum layer on the steel sheet, wherein the steel sheet, upon being dipped into the aluminum bath, has a temperature of at least 700° C.; and c. pulling the steel sheet out of the aluminum bath and cooling the aluminized steel sheet at a cooling rate of at least 100 K/s.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for pre-calculating the parameters of industrial processes. According to said method, an admissible process input variable vector is determined with definition ranges allocated to each variable and a process output variable vector is determined with the pre-calculable process parameters. Known information on the process is stored in a data bank and ranges of validity for the process input variables are allocated to said information. For each process input vector inputted from an admissible definition range provided with valid information, exactly one process output vector is determined according to the information valid therefor.
