description | In order to achieve the industrial application of ultrasonic energy in the continuous casting and rolling production of aluminum alloy, a new type of L-shaped ultrasonic rod was used to introduce an ultrasonic bending vibration into the aluminum melt in the launder during the horizontal twin-roll continuous casting and rolling process of a 1060 aluminum alloy. The effects of the ultrasonic bending vibration on the microstructure and properties of the 1060 aluminum alloy cast rolling strip and its subsequent cold rolling strip were studied experimentally, and the effect of the ultrasonic-assisted refining with different amounts of Al-Ti-B refiner was explored. The results show that under the same addition amount of Al-Ti-B refiner, the ultrasonic bending vibration can refine the grains of the cast rolling strip, make the distribution of precipitates more uniform, reduce the slag inclusion defects, and improve the mechanical properties to a certain extent. The microstructure and properties of the ultrasonic cast rolling strip with 0.18 wt% Al-Ti-B refiner or 0.12 wt% Al-Ti-B refiner are better than those of the conventional cast rolling strip, but the microstructure and properties of the ultrasonic cast rolling strip with 0.09 wt% Al-Ti-B refiner are slightly worse than those of the conventional cast rolling strip. Moreover, after cold rolling, the effect of the ultrasonic bending vibration on the improvement of the microstructure and properties of the aluminum alloy strip is inherited. A comprehensive analysis shows that the use of ultrasonic energy in this paper cannot completely replace the effect of the Al-Ti-B refiner, but it can reduce the addition amount of the Al-Ti-B refiner by 1/3. |
