Abstract: DC casting was used to produce A390 alloy hollow billet. The effects of the casting speed and temperature on the macrostructure and microstructure of A390 alloy hollow billets were studied. The results showed that the distribution of primary Si in the hollow billet became more even and the average size of primary Si particle decreased gradually with the increase of the casting speed from 90mm/min to 120mm/min and casting temperature from 800℃ to 850℃,respectively. The optimum casting process parameters for the A390 alloy hollow billets of 164mm/60mm were obtained with the casting speed of 110mm/min and casting temperature of 850℃. The primary Si particles uniformly distributed with their average size less than 26μm obtained under the optimum casting process parameters. The ultimate tensile strength and elongation at the inner wall of the hollow billets were 264MPa and 0.5%, respectively.
