Purpose: Purpose of this paper is to clear the possibility of high speed roll casting of thin strip of recycled Al-3%Si-0.6%Mg alloy. Investigation of the mechanical properties of the roll cast recycled Al-3%Si-0.6%Mg strip was purpose, too. Design/methodology/approach: Method used in the present study was high speed twin roll caster and low temperature casting. These methods were used to realize rapid solidification, and increase of casting speed. Findings: Findings are that recycled Al-3%Si-0.6%Mg was could be cast at speed of 60 m/min. This strip was 3.1 mm-thick. As cast strip could be cold-rolled down to sheet of 1 mm-thick. 180 degrees bending test was operated on the sheet after T4 heat treatment and crack was not occured at the outer surface. This result means the roll cast recycled Al-3%Si-0.6%Mg can be used as the body of the auto mobile. Research limitations/implications: Research limitation is that the width of the strip was 100 mm and investigation of the properties was not enough for practical use. Wider strip must be cast using the twin roll caster of the size for production. Practical implications: Practical implications are as below. The economy sheet for the auto mobile can be produced by the high speed twin roll caster. Al-3%Si-0.6%Mg can be used both the casting and plastic forming. Therefore, fractionation in the recycle of the aluminium alloy will becomes easy. The content of Fe in the recycled aluminium alloy increases. Fe becomes intermetallic of AlSiFe. Si for Mg2Si becomes deficient. 3%Si was enough for Mg2Si if AlSiFe was precipitated. Al-3%Si-0.6%Mg is suitable for recycle. Originality/value: The economy sheet of Al-3%Si-0.6%Mg can be made by the high productivity of the HSTRC. The result of this report contributes to make the economy aluminium alloy sheet for the automobile.

Purpose: of this paper is to clear the possibility of high speed roll casting of thin aluminum alloy strip. 6016 aluminum alloy is used for sheet metal of the automobile. Therefore, casting of 6016 was tried in this study. Castability and characteristics of roll cast 6016 strip were investigated. Design/methodology/approach: was a high speed twin roll caster. The high speed twin roll caster was designed to overcome the low castability of the twin roll caster. Findings: are as below. The 6016 could be cast at speed of 60 m/min. The thickness of the 6016 was 3 mm. The microstructure at as-cast and after T6 heat treatment was shown. The microstructure was very fine by the effect of the rapid solidification. The mechanical properties were investigated by the tension test and 180 degrees bending test. The as-cast strip could be cold rolled down to 1 mm without homogenization. The result of tension test (gage length 50mm) of T4 strip was as below, tensile stress was 242 MPa, proof stress was 123 MPa and elongation was 26%. There was no crack at the outer surface of 180-degree-bent strip until contact. This shows the strip endure the hem forming. Research limitations/implications: is the width of the strip was 100 mm. The test using a large scale twin roll caster must be operated. Practical implications: are as below. The mechanical properties of the roll-cast 6016 were enough for the sheet metal for the automobile. The low productivity of the twin roll caster could be improved, and economy 6016 strip was able to produce. Originality/value: is that 6016 strip could be cast at speed 60 m/min and this strip had good mechanical properties.
