Purpose: of this paper: Twin roll casters that can cast two layers and three layers clad strip of aluminium alloys were invented. One of the purposes of this paper is to report that the two layers and three layers clad strip could be cast by the twin roll caster of this study. The investigation of the characters of these casters and the clad strips was purpose of this paper, too. The connecting at the interface between the strips was most important in the casting of the clad strip. Therefore, the attention was paid on the conditions of the interface. Design/methodology/approach: A vertical type tandem twin roll caster and a twin roll caster equipped with a scraper were designed, assembled and tested. Castings of the two layers clad strip and the three layers clad strip directly from molten metal were tried using these twin roll casters. The connecting strength between strips was investigated by the continuous bending test and the cold rolling. The diffusion and re-melting at the interface was investigated by the SEM-EPMA. Findings: The twin roll casters invented in this study could cast the two layers and three layers clad strips directly from molten metal. These clad strips had clear interface between the strips. This means that the mixing of the two alloys did not occur at the interface. The diffusion of elements of the each strip into another strip did not occur at the interface. The connecting strength was enough to endure the peeling at the interface by continuous bending. The clad ratio could be controlled by the solidification length up to 10:1. Two layers clad strip assembled from Al-Mg alloy strip and another aluminium alloy strip could be cast without defect by the effect of the scraper. The three layers clad strip which base strip had lower melting point than that of the overlay strip could be cast. Practical implications: The three layers clad strip, which base strip is 3003 aluminium alloy and overlay strips are 4045 aluminium alloy, can be used for the brazing sheet of the radiator of the automobile. The twin roll caster of this paper could cast this type of clad strip. The process saving and the energy saving can be attain by the twin roll caster of this paper. The clad ratio between the base strip and the overlay strip was smaller than 10:1. Originality/value: The twin roll casters that could cast two and three layers clad strips were original invention. using the twin roll caster.
