Abstract

Cooling roll is a key component in preparation of amorphous alloy ribbon process. The cooling roll rotates at a high speed that causes large centrifugal force on coolant. The reasonable channel structure facilitates the cooling effect and decreases power consumption. Different channel structures in the cooling roll are analyzed in this paper by computer fluid dynamic (CFD) method. The simulation calculated out the pressure distribution and streamline in different channel structure. The simulation results show that flow in case 2 is the optimal in three channel structures. Finally, the structure of the case 2 is manufactured and tested. It is shown that there is no flow block in the channel.
