摘要:
This invention relates to a method of controlling a flow in a casting mold in a DC magnetic field, in which the casting of steel is done continuously as a flow of molten steel discharged from a nozzle is controlled by applying a DC magnetic field having substantially uniform magnetic flux density distribution in the entire widthwise direction of a casting mold to the casting mold in the direction of the thickness thereof, characterized in that the meniscus velocity of flow on the surface of the molten steel in the casting mold is controlled within a range of 0.20 - 0.40 m/sec by regulating an ejection angle of the nozzle, position of the magnetic field and a magnetic flux density. When the meniscus velocity of flow is increased greatly, a control operation is carried out in accordance with the following equation (1): Vp/Vo = 1 + alpha 1{1-exp(- beta 1.H )} by dashing an ejection flow from the nozzle directly against a shorter wall of the casting mold, and, when the meniscus velocity of flow is increased or reduced, a control operation is carried out in accordance with the following equation (2): Vp/Vo = 1 + alpha 2{sin( beta 2.H)exp(- gamma .H)} by dashing an ejection flow from the nozzle against a shorter wall of the casting mold after passing it through a magnetic field zone. In equations (1) and (2) H = 185.8.B .D.T/(D+T)V.
