The results of a numerical investigation into the temperature-temporal dependences in continuous combined casting and pressing of the AK12 experimental aluminum alloy at a different overheating temperature from startup to the instant the steady-state thermal conditions are reached by the installation are reported. Calculations are performed based on a three-dimensional computer model of a complex heat exchange in an installation of a new design equipped by a horizontal rotary crystallizer. Theoretical investigations into the effect of overheating of the poured aluminum melt on the temperature-dependent heat exchange processes are performed. The influence of the character of the heat exchange in the transient thermal mode on the temperature field of the solidified melt for its different remoteness from the pouring point is determined. It is shown that the asymmetry of the temperature field in the control metal cross section near the pressing tool with the maximal temperature to the contacting crystallizer surface increases during crystallizer heating in the transient process. It is established that the duration of the transient process during the installation startup from the cold state until the steady-state thermal mode is attained depends on the temperature of the melt being poured. The maximal limit of overheating of the poured metal is determined, above which, when implementing the continuous combined casting-pressing technology, the aluminum melt does not solidify in the crystallizer and forced cooling of installation elements should be organized. The influence of melt overheating on the character of the temperature field along the crystallizer cross section is evaluated for the entire period of the transient thermal process. The design measures ensuring the rational temperature working conditions of bearings during the installation operation are given.

Приведены результаты численного исследования температурно-временных зависимостей при непрерывном совмещенном процессе литья и прессования опытного алюминиевого сплава АК12, имеющего различную температуру перегрева, в интервале времени от пуска до момента выхода установки на стационарный тепловой режим. Расчеты выполнены на основе трехмерной компьютерной модели сложного теплообмена в установке новой конструкции, оснащенной горизонтальным карусельным кристаллизатором. Проведены теоретические исследования воздействия перегрева заливаемого алюминиевого расплава на процессы нестационарного теплообмена. Определено влияние характера теплообмена в переходном тепловом режиме на температурное поле затвердевающего расплава на различном его удалении от места заливки. Показано, что по мере разогрева кристаллизатора в переходном процессе возрастает несимметричность температурного поля в контрольном сечении металла вблизи инструмента прессования со сдвигом области с максимальной температурой к контактирующей поверхности кристаллизатора. Установлено, что продолжительность переходного процесса при пуске установки из холодного состояния до достижения ею стационарного теплового режима зависит от температуры заливаемого расплава. Определен максимальный предел величины перегрева заливаемого металла, выше которого при реализации технологии непрерывного совмещенного процесса литья-прессования алюминиевый расплав не затвердевает в кристаллизаторе, и требуется организация принудительного охлаждения элементов установки. Проведена оценка влияния перегрева расплава на характер температурного поля по сечению кристаллизатора во всем периоде переходного теплового процесса. Предложены конструктивные мероприятия, обеспечивающие в ходе эксплуатации установки рациональные температурные условия работы подшипников.

Based on the software complex Ansys CFX, a three-dimensional computer model of complex heat transfer in a continuous casting and pressing of non-ferrous metals has been developed. The features of constructing a computational grid and solving the system of differential energy equations for the processed metal and the elements of the installation are considered. The dynamics of the process of casting and pressing of aluminum alloy on an experimental laboratory installation is studied. Calculated temperatures of the metal and elements of the prototype of the installation are determined. An experimental estimation of reliability of modeling results is carried out and adequacy of the developed computer model is shown.Keywords : installation, continuous casting and pressing, computer model, software complex Ansys, heat exchange, experiment, aluminum alloy.

The results of a numerical analysis of unsteady heat transfer in the "metal-mold-environment" system during continuous combined casting and extrusion of an aluminum alloy in an installation with a horizontal carousel mold are presented. The heat engineering zones characterized by different intensity of heat transfer between the melt and the surface of the mold have been determined. A quantitative assessment of the influence of the rate of heating of the crystallizer on the temperature-time characteristics during the period of the transient thermal process is given. It is shown that an increase in the productivity of the installation reduces the duration of the transient thermal process when starting the installation from a cold state until it reaches a stationary thermal regime. The dependence of the time at which the installation reaches the stationary thermal regime on the rotation speed of the crystallizer wheel has been obtained.
