Abstract
Since saving of resources and energy and global environment came to be taken up, aluminum has been paid attention because it is easy to recycle and its specific tensile strength is high. The quantity of aluminum forged parts increases to the variety products. however, for the characteristic is good, aluminum products have been used without considering for the cost. With these points as background, we developed new process of the continuous casting method to which applied the Melt Drag Process. It is successful in producing the various forms of forging raw materials with attaining near net-shape for the present. In present study, we analyzed the solidification and forming mechanisms. Solidification in slug was presumed from variations of temperature and the solid fraction in a slug each part that had calculated.
