Processing, aluminum alloys continuous casting

Some studies have been performed on the continuous casting of aluminum alloys with UST in Japan (Furucawa Co.) and on an intensification of various metallurgical processes using ultrasound in China [27],... 

The AMPCO alloys recommended for process applications are essentially aluminum bronzes and nickel-aluminum bronzes. They can be produced in a wide range of forms-sand, centrifugal and shell mold castings forgings rolled sheet and plate extruded and continuous cast rod, tube and shapes. 

Aluminum particle rolling directly into continuous strip. Molten metal is sprayed into particles about the size of rice in a controlled environment, then brought to a desired rolling temperature and continuously rolled into instant coiled sheet This process can handle alloys which normally cannot be cast in ingot form.
