The research of thermal operations in the equipment of continual casting & aluminum extrusion in transitional mode

There have being observed the parameters of technological process of non-ferrous metals continual casting & extrusion. There are presented the results of the research of thermal processes flowing in the carousel-type equipment while continual casting & extrusion of industrial aluminum. There have been revealed the characteristics and period of the transitional process from the equipment cold start to its steady conditions of work. With applying of the software “Ansys CFX” there has been designed the 3-D computer model of heat-exchange in this experimental-industrial equipment. As a result of mathematical modeling there has been found a necessary rotation angle of a crystallizer that provides a required nominal temperature of aluminum allow solidification under steady condition of the equipment operation.
