  1. Ravenswood Aluminum Corp., WV (United States)

Ravenswood Aluminum Corporation (RAC) has experienced a reduction in butt curl by as much as three inches through the use of shim tape. A factor that affects butt curl is how the shim material is applied. For example, the amount of butt curl is significantly less if shim tape is applied to all four faces of the molds as compared to only two faces of the mold. This paper will compare the amount of butt curl versus (1) different types of shim material and (2) application (four faces versus two faces) of the shim material.
