A method of continuously casting a molten metal, capable of minimizing the unstability of initial solidification of a molten metal and stably attaining the improvement of the performance of being lubricated of a cast piece and the property of the surface thereof, and an apparatus for embodying the method. A method of continuously casting a molten metal, wherein a molten metal is poured into a mold, which is vibrated or not vibrated in a predetermined mode, with an alternating current supplied to an electromagnetic coil provided so as to surround a wall of the mold or an electromagnetic coil buried in a side wall thereof, continuous casting being carried out as an electromagnetic force is applied to the molten metal which is about to start being solidified, characterized in that the amplitude or waveform of the alternating current supplied to the molten metal is varied periodically; and an apparatus for embodying the method.

A method and an apparatus for continuously casting a molten metal, adapted to apply to a molten metal vibration generated by a shifting magnetic field which improves an equiaxed crystal ratio, and which can further refine an equiaxed crystal, without causing a surface discontinuity ascribed to powder inclusion to occur; and a cast piece, characterized by a casting process for manufacturing a cast piece, comprising injecting a molten metal into a casting mold while applying an electromagnetic force from an electromagnetic coil, which is provided in the vicinity of the casting mold, to the molten metal, to solidify the same, wherein a shifting magnetic field generated by a magnetic coil provided in the vicinity of a molten metal pool in the casting mold is applied to the molten metal which is being withdrawn in the downward direction as it is completely solidified, or cool-solidified in the casting mold, to a degree within a range not exceeding an absolute value of a predetermined velocity of flow, by subject the molten metal to a high and low accelerations and combining direction vectors of the same direction of high and low accelerations or direction vectors of an opposite direction thereof, to vibrate the molten metal.
摘要:
A method of and an apparatus for continuously casting slabs of a metal, such as steel which do not have defects, such as vertical cracks on a surface thereof, by uniformly turning a molten metal in a meniscus plane in a mold. In a meniscus plane, the electromagnetic agitating thrusts applied along two longer sides of the mold are directed contrariwise, and a thrust directed from an immersed nozzle toward the shorter sides of the mold is set larger than that directed from the shorter sides of the mold toward the immersed nozzle. A circuit connecting each coil of an electromagnetic agitation coil unit of a shafting magnetic field system and a three-phase power source together is point symmetric with respect to the immersed nozzle and relative to the two longer sides of the mold and is divided into two portions on each longer side of the mold, and the divided portions are parallel to each other and have different impedances.

In order to rapidly and inexpensively evaluate cleanliness of a metal with a good representativeness when an amount, composition and the like of non-metallic inclusion particles existent in a metal and leading to defective products are to be evaluated based on samples picket up during the manufacture of the metal, an amount of non-metallic inclusion is identified by levitation melting metallic pieces for a predetermined period of time by means of a cold crucible levitation melting device, discharging non-metallic inclusion particles existent in the metal to a melting body surface, and measuring or analyzing amounts of elements, which constitute the non-metallic inclusion particles, by subjecting a curved and non-flat surface of a sample after solidification to direct analysis, which is performed based on a fluorescent X-ray analyzing method using an energy dispersion type spectrometer, and other chemical or physical measurement.
摘要:
A mathematical model and a means for rapidly analyzing non-metallic inclusion in steel by means of, e.g., a cold crucible method are combined to simulatingly calculate the behavior of the non-metallic inclusion and thereby to predict the quality of a cast article on-line. Further, continuous casting process variables are controlled to suppress the amount of non-metallic inclusion in the cast piece to a minimum.
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.
