Notes:
In recent years, the horizontal continuous casting has been increasingly applied in avariety of aluminum products such as busbars, T-bars, foundry ingots, small diameter extrusionbillets and forging feedstock, due to its high productivity and relatively low cost. By introducing thecontinuous process for long cast periods, feeding blockage as a unique process-related complexproblem has emerged, which causes casting defects, a short cast duration and even an unexpectedinterruption of the cast. A literature review of the feeding blockage phenomena during continuouscasting in the steel and aluminum industries is presented. The causes and mechanisms of feedingblockage in the aluminum horizontal continuous casting are proposed and discussed. Typicalexamples of feeding blockage from the industrial scale production with results of metallographicexamination are illustrated
