Heat transfer characterization of secondary cooling in the horizontal direct chill casting process for aluminum alloy re-melt ingot

Horizontal direct chill (HDC) casting is a continuous process used to produce extrusion billet and re-melt aluminum ingot. As in vertical DC casting, secondary cooling, where water directly impinges on the cast surface, is an important process that can affect cast quality and production rates. Durin...
