The present invention provides a cold crucible for continuously casting high-purity light metal thin slab, which can control the electromagnetic force applied from the inner wall surface of a cold crucible to the surface of molten metal in order to change the shape of the cold crucible to various shapes during electromagnetic casting, while stabilizing the molten metal inside the cold crucible and casting an ingot having uniform particles.

A pulling-up-type continuous casting apparatus according to an aspect of the present invention includes a holding furnace that holds molten metal, a shape defining member configured to define a cross-sectional shape of a cast-metal article to be cast by a molten-metal passage section through which the molten metal passes, and a nozzle that blows a cooling gas on the cast-metal article, the cast-metal article being formed as the molten metal that has passed through the molten-metal passage section. The shape defining member includes cooling means for cooling the molten metal on an outlet side of the molten-metal passage section, and temperature-maintaining means for maintaining a temperature of the molten metal on an inlet side of the molten-metal passage section. An end face shape of the molten-metal passage section is curved to conform to a surface shape of the molten metal pulled up from the molten-metal surface.

Equipment for the semi-continuous direct chill (DC) casting of sheet ingot or slabs of different dimensions, in particular for rolling purposes. The equipment includes a mould frame (2) with a pair of facing long side walls (3) and a pair of facing short end walls (4) where the walls define an upwardly open inlet for the supply of metal and a downwardly facing outlet. The outlet is provided with a starter block (6) on a movable support which prior to each casting closes the opening. The equipment in dudes means for changing the mould dimensions where at least one end wall can be displaced to enable casting of ingots with different sizes, The equipment further includes means for indirect and direct cooling of the metal during casting, and optionally means for flexing of the long side walls of the mould to compensate for shrinkage of the metal during casting, The starter block (6) is provided with short end and long end walls (9, 11) whereof at least one short end wall (11) is movably provided in relation to the mould and thereby may be adjusted to the desired ingot mould dimension prior to casting.

The invention relates to a method for the continuous casting of a metal strand (1), in which the cast strand (1) leaves a die (2) vertically or arcuately downwards and is subsequently guided in a strand guide (3), wherein the strand guide (3) has a number of pairs of rollers (4), which define between them an adjustable roller nip (5), and wherein, at the start of casting, to close the die (2) in the downward direction, a piece of strand (6) is introduced into the die (2) and is followed by the cast strand (1). In order to improve the adjustment of the roller nip, the invention provides that the piece of strand (6), which is produced with a defined or calibrated thickness (d), is inserted between the respective pairs of rollers to calibrate and/or measure the roller nip (5).
摘要:
When a body of startup material has been interposed in the cavity between the starter block and a first cross sectional plane of the cavity transverse the axis thereof, the starter block has commenced reciprocating along the axis, and the body of startup material has commenced reciprocating in tandem with it, through a series of second cross sectional planes, layers of molten metal are successively superimposed on the body of startup material adjacent the first cross sectional plane of the cavity, and the layers promptly distend relatively peripherally outwardly from the axis under the inherent splaying forces therein. The invention confines the relatively peripheral outward distention of the layers with a casting surface which is peripherally outwardly flared about the axis of the cavity. Initially, at the circumferential outline of the cross sectional area circumscribed by the surface in the first cross sectional plane of the cavity, the casting surface directs each of the layers into the series of second cross sectional planes at relatively peripherally outwardly inclined angles to the axis. Then the surface allows the layer to assume second cross sectional areas whose cross sectional dimensions undergo continual enlargement peripherally outwardly of the axis, so that the thermal contraction forces arising in the layer can counterbalance the splaying forces while the layer freeforms with the other layers into a body of metal at one of the second cross sectional planes of the cavity.

The apparatus includes an upper metal reservoir (10), a casting mold (2) having an inlet and an outlet, and a vertically moveable base (7) positioned at the outlet with a casting shoe or bottom block (5) which is designed to bear against the outlet at the start of a casting cycle. The casting shoe is mounted as a moveable shoe on the base (7) and is designed to be locked by the direct engagement with the base when it has been brought into a centered position in relation to the casting mold (2). Furthermore, centering devices (3, 4, 8) for the casting mold and the casting shoe are provided thereon for centering the casting shoe in relation to the casting mold.
摘要:
A cast starting method in horizontal continuous casting, including the steps of locating an orifice plate having an orifice between a molten metal outlet of a tundish and a mold, the orifice plate being formed on its front side with a recess expanded in a range surrounding an outlet of the orifice, locating a starting block in the mold to let a rear end surface of the starting block contact a front surface of the orifice plate to define a closed space by the recess, locating a starting pin in the closed space at a position not aligned to the outlet of the orifice, letting a molten metal flow from the tundish through the orifice into the closed space, and drawing the starting block with the molten metal after solidified out of the mold.

A continuous casting machine has a flow through mold and a flexible starting bar composed of a plurality of short sections coupled by hinges which permit the sections to pivot inwardly to a slight degree but prevent outward pivotal movement beyond the machine's arcuate casting path. A storage assembly for the starter bar includes a pair of support stands each having spaced drive rolls disposed along the arcuate casting path through which the starter bar passes as it is moved into and out of its stored position. One roll of each stand is fixed and the other is mounted on a pivotal arm engaged by a hydraulic cylinder to provide a pinching effect on the starter bar as it is moved between its operative and stored positions.
摘要:
A continuous casting apparatus comprising a tubular die, a cooler associated with the tubular die, and opposed pairs of drawing rolls associated with the outlet of the die for drawing the cast product from the die. One set of rolls is mounted for rotation about stationary axes and the other set of rolls is mounted for rotation about axes movable radially with respect to the cast product. A starting bar includes a starter tip dimensioned to fit within the die. The starter tip and starter bar are interconnected for adjustment radially relative to one another such that when the starting tip is inserted into the tubular die upon start up of the casting apparatus, the movable drawing rolls can be successively moved radially inwardly or outwardly with respect to the center line of the cast product to maintain the center line of the cast product aligned with the center line between the opposed sets of rolls.
