Abstract
The influence of casting speed on mechanical properties from twin-rolled cast strip was investigated. Low and high speed coils of 8079 and 8006 alloys were produced from FATA HUNTER twin roll caster of ELVAL.
Microhardness and tensile tests of low casting speed coils for both alloys exhibit higher hardness and mechanical properties compared to the higher casting speed coils.
Electrical Conductivity measurements and metallographic examinations helped to explain the difference in mechanical properties between the high and low casting speed coils. Increased micro structural knowledge allowed ELVAL to optimize the cold rolling and annealing processes to meet customer specifications.
