  4. 2. Magnetic Fields and Induced Power in the Induction Heating of Aluminium Billets

    Author : Mark William Kennedy; Ragnhild E. Aune; Andreas Westermoen; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Induction; heating; billets; coils; magnetic fields;

    Abstract : Induction heating is a common industrial process used for the reheating of billets before extrusion or forging. In this work the influence of the coil and work piece geometry, the effect of the electrical properties of the work piece, and the coil current and frequency, on the magnetic flux density and resulting work piece heating rates were studied.

  5. 3. Investigation of Surface Formation in As-Cast and Homogenized 6xxx Aluminium Billets

    Author : Nazlin Bayat; Torbjörn Carlberg; Håkan Olin; Yanjun Li; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : DC casting; surface segregation; surface defects; intermetallic phase; phase transformation; homogenization;

    Abstract : The direct chill (DC) casting technique to produce billets for extrusion and ingots for rollingwas developed in the 1930s. The principle, which is still valid, is a two-stage cooling with a primary cooling at a mould surface followed by water spraying directly on the surface. READ MORE

  6. 4. On some positive effects of swirling flow for the continuous cast mould billets

    Author : Shavkat Kholmatov; Pär Jönsson; Simon Lille; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; swirling flow; round mould; divergent angle; aspect ratio; temperature distribution; velocity fluctuations; continuous casting of steel; mathematical modeling; CFD; Metallurgical process engineering; Metallurgisk processteknik;

    Abstract : Continuous caster moulds are the last and most important stage in the steelmaking process, where inclusions can either be generated or removed. With increasing casting speed using conventional immersion nozzles critical problems, such as unstable bulk mould flow have been noticed. READ MORE

  7. 5. Semi-Solid Casting of Aluminium and Magnesium Alloys: Slurry Production and Rheocasting using the Rapid Slurry Forming Technology

    Author : Olof Granath; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Slurry; RheoMetal; Process parameter; Aluminium alloys; Semi-solid; Rheocasting; Rapid Slurry Forming; Magnesium alloys; Reheating;

    Abstract : Semi-solid casting was developed in the early 1970’s and involves the use of a partially solidified metal slurry. This method of casting has become a popular alternative for production of automobile components. READ MORE
