This study compared the properties of aluminum AA6005 sheet produced by Thin Strip (TS) casting with slabs produced by Direct Chill casting in the as-cast state. The TS cast sheet showed finer grain size, smaller secondary dendritic arm spacing, improved solute supersaturation, and a lack of Mg2Si constituents at the grain boundary due to higher cooling rates. These findings provide a basis for further heat-treatment optimization of TS cast sheet.
Aluminum AA6005 sheet produced by Thin Strip (TS) casting was compared to the slabs produced by Direct Chill casting in the as-cast state. Higher cooling rates experienced before, during, and after the solidification for the TS cast sheet showed a finer grain size, smaller secondary dendritic arm spacing, improved solute supersaturation, and a lack of Mg2Si constituents at the grain boundary. These findings showed the effects of cooling rate in the casting process on the as-cast microstructure and provided a basis for further heat-treatment optimization of the TS cast sheet.
