THERMAL CONTACT DURING THE COOLING BY THE SINGLE ROLLER CHILL BLOCK CASTING.

Abstract

The thermal contact during the cooling of a Ni-19 at%P alloy by the single roller chill block casting has been investigated by best fitting of experimentally measured actual temperatures of solidifying ribbons to calculations performed on the basis of heat transfer analysis. The effects of process variables on the thermal contact have been discussed in conjunction with contact patterns at the roller-side surface of the ribbons cast.
