A single wheel caster equipped with rotating side dam plates was proposed and assessed in conjunction with a pool-less pouring method as a compact and economical system for producing metal rods. The diameter and width of the single wheel were 600 and 10 mm, respectively, while those of the rotating side dam plates were 200 and 15 mm. Both were made from mild steel and rotated at the same speed.
Cited by: 3Casting of a convex rod from 5182 aluminum alloy was attempted using a single wheel caster with a V-shape groove. The diameter of the mild steel wheel was 600 mm, the angle of the vortex was 90 degrees, and the width of the groove was 20 mm. Important factors to cast a rod with a convex shape are the speed of the molten metal ejected from a hole-nozzle and the collapse angle between the molten ...

Cited by: 1Casting of a thin aluminum alloy strand was investigated using two-and three-wheel casters. Molten metal was poured through a launder into a trapezoidal groove in the lower wheel of the caster. In the two-wheel caster, the level of molten metal was lower than the height of the walls of the lower wheel groove, and a puddle was formed between the lower and upper wheels.
