摘要:
A method and apparatus is disclosed for casting a composite ingot made of metals that are susceptible to surface oxide formation when molten. The method involves co-casting at least two metal layers from at least two molten metal pools formed within a direct chill casting apparatus. During the casting operation, movement of metal oxide formed on the upper surface of at least one of the pools towards an edge of the pool is restrained by an oxide skimmer positioned close to an edge of the pool above an external surface or metal-metal interface of the ingot. The apparatus provides a DC caster with at least one oxide skimmer that operates in this manner.

A method for the casting of a composite metal ingot comprising at least two layers formed of different alloys, which comprises providing an open ended annular mould having a feed end and an exit end wherein molten metal is added at the feed end and a solidified ingot is extracted from the exit end, and divider walls for dividing the feed end into at least two separate feed chambers, said divider walls terminating above said exit end of the mould, where each feed chamber is adjacent at least one other feed chamber, wherein for each pair of adjacent feed chambers a first stream of a first alloy is fed to one of the pair of feed chambers to form a pool of metal in the first chamber and a second stream of a second alloy is fed through the second of the pair of feed chambers to form a pool of metal in the second chamber, the pools of meal each having an upper surface and wherein the divider walls for dividing the feed end are flexible and the shape of the divider walls is adjusted during the casting process, whereby the two alloy streams are joined as two layers and cooling the joined alloy layers to form a composite ingot having a uniform interface throughout.

The invention offers a magnesium alloy sheet material having excellent plastic processibility and rigidity and a magnesium alloy formed body having excellent rigidity. The sheet material has magnesium alloy that forms the matrix containing hard particles. The region from the surface of the sheet material to a position away from the surface by 40% of the thickness of the sheet material is defined as the surface region, and the remaining region as the center region. Hard particles existing in the center region have a maximum diameter of more than 20 µm and less than 50 µm, and hard particles existing in the surface region have a maximum diameter of 20 µm or less. Because the hard particles existing at the surface side are fine particles, they are less likely to become the starting point of cracking or another defect at the time of plastic processing. Because the hard particles existing in the center region are coarse, they can increase the rigidity of the sheet material.

The invention relates to a motor block having molded cylinder sleeves comprising a plurality of material layers with different levels of stability and wear resistance, having at least one inner layer forming a path and at least one layer disposed on the outside thereof forming the sleeve body, wherein the sleeve body is made of a high-strength aluminum alloy or an aluminum alloy reinforced by reinforcing means and the path is formed by a low-friction Al-Si alloy. The invention further relates to a production method for cylinder sleeves, particularly by centrifugal casting of an Al alloy with Si particles such that the Si particles accumulate in the inner region to form a low-friction Al-Si alloy and deplete in the outer region to form a solid aluminum alloy.

A process for producing a multi-layered amorphous alloy containing at least one amorphous alloy layer, which involves the step of ejecting a first molten metal onto one of juxtaposed pair of rolls rotating at high speed to thereby cause the molten metal to revolve along the roll surface in a layer state for quenching, the step of ejecting a second molten metal different from said first metal onto the first metal on said roll to quench and form a two-layered metal layer on the rotating roll, and the step of pressure-welding and milling said metal layer between said pair of rolls. This process can be widely utilized for the production of multi-layered alloys for use as various kinds of composite alloy materials such as a highly sensitive bimetal, superconductive wire, a contact spring composite alloy, a latching relay having two-stage magnetic hysteresis, a magnetic head with high performance, etc.
