박판 연속 주조과정에 있어서 회전 로울러의 열변형에 관한 연구

In this paper the solidification phenomena at the molten pool has been modeled and simulated in terms with the one dimensional unsteady-state heat transfer of the solid and molten phase and the pressure distribution in the solid phase for the twin-roller continuous casting of Sn-15% Pb. The further purpose of this study was to effectively analyze the thermal and mechanical deformation of roll applying the results of the heat transfer and the pressure distribution to the boundary conditions. The strip thickness of rapidly solidified metallic strip decreases with increasing angular velocity of the roller and with increasing initial roll gap. For this reason the roll spacing and angular velocity of the rolls are considered to be main variables. The recommended optimal casting regimes for continuous strip dimensions is near 0.8mm-1.0mm in thickness at the given angular velocity .omega.=2.0 rad/sec. Results of the experiment using Sn-15% Pb are compared with model predictions. The calculated roll deformation has been in good agreement with the observed value of roll deformatiion. All the deformation. All the deformation of the roller is within the elastic range, the plastic yielding are not occured. However, these elastic stresses are sufficient to take place of the shortened roller life by the thermal fatigue and a notch fatigue. The higher cooling rates were obtained by a twin-roller quenching technique. Also the quenched microstructure of the rapidly solidified shell was verified.
