  • Publication number: 20230339014
    Abstract: A casting roller or belt for a revolving chill mould of a strip casting system for the manufacture of an aluminium alloy strip and a strip casting system for manufacturing an aluminium alloy strip comprising at least one revolving chill mould with a casting gap. 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.

  • Patent number: 11673184
    Abstract: A strip casting system for aluminium and/or aluminium alloys comprising a casting furnace and a revolving chill mould having a casting gap. The revolving chill mould is designed as a roll pair, roller pair, caterpillar pair or belt pair. The strip casting system has an active means for transporting metal melt from the casting furnace to the casting gap and a casting region arranged in front of the casting gap. The casting region is delimited on one side by the revolving chill mould. A melt pool is formed in the casting region, from which metal melt flows or is drawn into the casting gap. The casting furnace is connected to the casting region by a pipe system with means for feeding the metal melt into the casting region, which can feed the metal melt to the casting region below the surface of the melt pool formed in the casting region.

  • Patent number: 11085903
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for quantitive determination of a number and size of particulate components contained in a medium flowing along a flow channel. Ultrasonic waves are coupled into the flowing medium, which are reflected at least partially by the particulate components and reflected ultrasonic wave portions which are detected in a ultrasonic time signals, on which the quantitive determination is based. Amplitude values associated with the individual ultrasonic time signals, are detected which are each greater than an amplitude threshold value established for each ultrasonic time signal: The detected amplitude values are assigned to values describing the size and the number of the particulate components.

  • Publication number: 20070181284
    Abstract: A method for the production of cast steel strip in a continuous procedure includes casting a steel melt into a casting gap having longitudinal sides of which are formed by walls that move during the casting process, to form the steel strip, and holding the steel melt, which is present above the casting gap in a melt pool, under an atmosphere containing nitrogen and hydrogen. This method allows the production of high-quality steel strips having a significantly improved surface composition compared to the prior art in that the hydrogen content of the atmosphere is greater than 0 mol % to 10 mol %, and the Cr, Mo, Nb, Si, Ti, Ni, Mn, C or N contents of the cast steel melt, which are selectively present in each case for adjusting the characteristics of the steel strip, are in each case selected so that a ratio Creq/Nieq?1.7.
