Background
The continuous casting and rolling process for producing aluminum and aluminum alloy plate strips is emphasized by various countries in the world due to the advantages of short process, high metal yield, energy conservation, consumption reduction, convenience in realizing mechanization and automation and the like. At present, the continuous casting and rolling process is applied in a concentrated way on rolled plates and strips, but is limited to 1XXX aluminum alloy and partial 3XXX, 5XXX and 8XXX aluminum alloys, and because the flow rate of molten aluminum in continuous casting and rolling is high, the nozzle is easy to block and the components are easy to segregate, so that crystal grains in the microstructure of a casting blank are coarsened, and because no secondary treatment measures are adopted in the production process, the surface quality of the final plate and strip is poor.
The grain size and the composition segregation rate are key factors for determining the quality of continuous casting and rolling plate and strip, and at present, the grain is generally refined by adding a refiner in the industry, but the refiner has higher cost, is very easy to precipitate under high-speed flow, cannot produce better refining effect, and causes serious segregation. Therefore, the pretreatment of the aluminum alloy melt is particularly important for refining the grain size, improving the composition segregation of the cast plate, improving the mechanical property and expanding the application range in the subsequent continuous casting and rolling process.

The ultrasonic rod (2) is arranged at the outlet end of the launder II, and is mainly based on the fact that the length of the launder is certain, and the refiner with high specific surface energy can be re-polymerized in the process of flowing to the filter box to reduce energy, so that the application of ultrasonic waves at the inlet of the filter box can further disperse the refiner particles into the size capable of passing through the filter screen (avoiding blocking the filter screen), and the proportion of nucleation sites in the melt is increased.

As a preferable scheme, the ultrasonic rod (1) is vertically inserted into the position below the liquid level in the launder I, and the particles of the refiner are in an agglomerated state at the position of adding the refiner and are easy to settle to the bottom of the liquid level due to the gravity, so the ultrasonic rod at the position needs to be placed at a certain depth and has enough power to effectively disperse the particles of the refiner and avoid the settlement of the particles of the refiner. Based on the ultrasonic insertion depth, the ultrasonic insertion depth is 3/5-5/6 of the height of the liquid level in the launder I, and the ultrasonic power is set to be 3.5 kw-5 kw. The insertion depth of the ultrasonic rod (1) is further preferably 4/5 of the height of the liquid surface in the launder I.
As a preferred scheme, the ultrasonic rod (2) is vertically inserted below the liquid surface in the launder II, and due to the certain size of a filter box filter screen, when the agglomeration of refiner particles is large, the refiner particles are difficult to pass through the filter box, so that the effective nucleation sites in the subsequent melt are reduced, and therefore, the position of the inlet of the filter box needs to be further subjected to ultrasonic treatment, and the position of the refiner addition position is subjected to ultrasonic treatment, so that the refiner particles are partially dispersed. Based on this, the ultrasonic insertion depth and power can be properly reduced at the position, specifically, the insertion depth is 1/3 to 2/3 (most preferably 1/2) of the liquid level in the launder II, and the ultrasonic power is set to be 3kw to 4kw.
The ultrasonic power and the aluminum liquid inserting depth of the ultrasonic rod (1) and the ultrasonic rod (2) are designed in a matching mode according to the characteristics of aluminum liquid, and homogenization of the aluminum liquid is facilitated.

The liquid level in the bow-shaped front box is lower than that of the launder, and the liquid flow mode is changed, and an ultrasonic field with gradient distribution and variable power needs to be arranged according to the flowing direction of the aluminum liquid. Double-source ultrasound (3) and (4) is applied to stir the aluminum liquid at the inlet position of the front box, the ultrasound power does not need to be too large, in order to prevent solute elements from settling (because titanium is extremely difficult to dissolve in the aluminum liquid, the aluminum liquid also contains certain titanium, the diffusion of the titanium needs to be strengthened by ultrasound), and the aluminum liquid needs to be placed at a deeper position (the density of the titanium is large); in the middle position of the front box, because the size is reduced, the liquid flow is convoluted, single-source ultrasound is applied to stir, the embedding depth can be reduced relative to the inlet position, and the single-source power needs to be increased; at the outlet position of the front box, namely the inlet of the casting nozzle, because the size of the casting nozzle is sharply reduced relative to the front box, and the flow rate of the molten aluminum is sharply increased, the double-source ultrasound (6) and (7) is applied at the position, the power is increased, and the deep position is arranged to prevent the precipitation of solute elements so as to avoid the blockage of the casting nozzle. Finally, under the dual action of ultrasonic stirring and gravity, refiner particles with different particle sizes are stepped step by step from top to bottom in the aluminum liquid, and by utilizing the matching relationship between ultrasonic intensity and particle size, ultrasonic rods are arranged in a stepped manner and reasonable embedding depth and power are set, so that the effect of reinforcing the dispersion of the particles with different particle sizes in a stepped manner is achieved.
