    摘要: A method of casting a metal alloy ingot, including the following steps: providing a one side open-ended mould including a plurality of sides and a bottom plate defining a mould cavity with a mould opening, the open-ended mould being pivotable around a horizontal rotational axis between a position so that the mould opening points upwards and a position so that the mould opening points side-wards or down-wards; positioning the open-ended mould such that the mould opening points side-wards or down-wards; providing a casting container with an upwardly positioned aperture; filling the casting container with molten metal for one casting operation; coupling the casting container to the open-ended mould so that the casting container is located below the mould while the mould opening points side-wards or down-wards; rotating the open-ended mould together with the casting container around the horizontal rotational axis for approximately 90° to 180° from a position whereby the mould opening points side-wards or down-wards to a position whereby the mould opening points upwards such that the molten metal is conveyed through the mould opening into the open-ended mould until reaching a desired thickness, whereby the molten metal in the open-ended mould is cooled directionally through its thickness where the solidification front remains substantially monoaxial.

    摘要: A method of producing molten aluminium-lithium alloys for casting a feedstock in the form of an ingot, the method including the steps of: preparing a molten first aluminium alloy with a composition A which is free from lithium as purposive alloying element, transferring the first aluminium alloy to an induction melting furnace, adding lithium to the first aluminium alloy in the induction melting furnace to obtain a molten second aluminium alloy with a composition B having lithium as purposive alloying element, optionally adding further alloying elements to the second aluminium alloy, transferring the second alloy via a metal conveying trough from the induction melting furnace to a casting station.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for the heat treatment of a moving aluminium alloy strip, the aluminium strip has an upper-surface and a lower-surface, the method comprising moving the aluminium strip over at least two rotating heating rolls, wherein the heating rolls comprises an outer-surface, such that a surface of the aluminium strip is in heat-transfer contact with the outer-surface of the heating rolls to induce heat into the aluminium strip to heat the aluminium strip at an annealing temperature, and comprising moving the aluminium alloy strip over a first rotating heating roll followed by moving the aluminium strip over a second rotating heating roll such that alternating the upper-surface and the lower-surface of the aluminium strip are in heat-transfer contact with the outer-surface of the rotating heating rolls.
