    The use of water cooling during the continuous casting of steel and aluminum alloys

    In both continuous casting of steel slabs and direct chill (DC) casting of aluminum alloy ingots, water is used to cool the mold in the initial stages of solidification, and then below the mold, where it is in...

    On the development of a three-dimensional transient thermal model to predict ingot cooling behavior during the start-up phase of the direct chill-casting process for an AA5182 aluminum alloy ingot

    The control of the heat transfer during the start-up phase of the direct-chill (DC) casting process for aluminum sheet ingots is critical from the standpoint of defect formation. Process control is difficult b...
