摘要

The steady state casting of an industrial-sized AA2024 slab has been modeled for a vertical low-head direct chill caster. The previously verified 3-D CFD code is used to investigate the solidification phenomena of the said long-range alloy by varying the pouring temperature, casting speed and the metal-mold contact heat transfer coefficient from 654 to 702 A degrees C, 60-180 mm/min, and 1.0-4.0 kW/(m(2) K), respectively. The important predicted results are presented and thoroughly discussed.
