Abstract
Aim to produce metal strips in millimeter scale, the Top Side-pouring Single Roll Casting process and the Top Side-pouring Twin Roll Casting process were investigated in this paper, using commercially pure lead and commercial-purity aluminum as the experimental materials. Numerical simulation was conducted before the experiment. The results show that, the Top Side-pouring Single Roll Casting process and the Top Side-pouring Twin Roll Casting process can both realize the uniform flow distribution and rapid solidification, but the surface of the strips cast by the former are irregularity because of free solidification, while that from the latter present a state of rolling. And one can change the gauge of nozzle and the speed of cooling roll, to regulate the thickness of thin strips, and by changing the shape of the nozzle, the thickness distribution can be handled.
