The invention discloses clad material
solid / liquid composite horizontal
continuous casting and forming equipment and method, and belongs to the technical field of clad material
continuous casting. According to the clad material
solid / liquid composite horizontal
continuous casting and forming equipment and method, the measures that a core material protection device, a flow guide
pipe, an inversion solidification device and the like are adopted and mounted below a
crucible, core materials are not heated in advance, the inversion solidification device with small capacity is designed, the core materials are prevented from penetrating through clad layer melt
metal for a long time, the melt
metal flows out from the bottom of the
crucible by relying on self-weight, and the size of the inversion solidification device and the size of a water-cooled crystallizer are controlled effectively are taken, the high quality clad materials of needed shapes and sizes are formed through horizontal continuous
casting, and the equipment and the method are especially suitable for horizontal continuous
casting forming of the large-size clad materials which are hard to reel up and has the
melting point of the clad layer
metal lower than that of the core material metal. The equipment and method have the advantages that the equipment is simple in structure, parts are easy to replace, operation and maintenance are convenient to carry out,
layout is reasonable and compact, production efficiency is high, investment is small,
automatic control is easy to achieve, large-scale industrial production is facilitated, the procedure of the forming process is short, energy is saved, environment is protected, efficiency is high, cost is low, the combination freedom of the clad layer metal and the core material metal is large, and the prepared clad materials are good in quality and performance.
