Abstract

Aluminium alloy DC-cast ingots are widely used as flat rolled products in building, construction and automotive applications. Some of these applications require a very uniform, high quality surface appearance which is closely related to the original as-cast microstructure. Inhomogeneity in the cast microstructure such as floating crystals negatively impacts the surface quality of the final product. In this study, the impact of the metal level, metal temperature, type of distributor bag and use of a skim dam were assessed. These parameters must be properly adjusted in order to obtain a homogeneous grain structure free of floating crystals.
