**8. Conclusions**

This present paper discusses the casting conditions and analyses results on AA6111 alloy strips, 250 mm wide and 6 mm thick, produced via the HSBC process. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses were performed to examine molten AA6111 flows in the HSBC process so as to achieve uniform thickness and a good surface finish of the cast strip.

The following conclusions were drawn, using the double impingement with no side dams condition, for the liquid metal feeding system.


the moving belt, as compared to a single-impingement metal feeding system, where the molten metal encounters an abrupt change in direction by the moving belt.
