A vertical type high speed twin roll caster is able to cast an aluminum alloy strip directly from a molten metal that is poured between the rotating rolls. However defects such as small cracks and unsound thickness distribution of the cast strip occur at faster roll speed. They are related to the contact condition of the roll surface and the melt. In the present study, we used the grooved roll to eliminate the defects, and to save the cost at the same time. We experimented using several grooved rolls with different patterns. When the groove width was 0.45mm; depth 0.2mm; pitch 0.1mm and 1.0mm, stable casting was possible. The shape of bulge was formed on the cast strip surface by the grooved roll. As a result of the color check, the grooved roll could eliminate the small cracks. The surface condition of the strip was more sound using the grooved roll with the pitch of 0.1mm than that of 1.0mm. Stopping the rotated roll during the casting, we observed the contact condition between the melt and the roll, and confirmed how the bulge was formed. To cold-roll for strip with bulges was possible and the bulges was erased. To cast for the sound strip was possible by the vertical type high speed twin roll caster with grooved rolls.
