The present invention provides a continuous casting method of molten metal using electromagnetic force to improve the cast slab surface properties and reduce the nonmetallic inclusions and bubbles trapped inside the cast slab. An alternating current is run through an electromagnetic coil 4 arranged around a casting mold 1 so as to surround a casting space 8 to control the meniscus shape to improve the cast slab surface properties, the discharge ports 6 of a submerged entry nozzle 5 are made upward oriented, and the direction of the discharge flow 14 from the discharge ports 6 is made one to above the intersection A of the casting mold short side and meniscus. Due to this, the nonmetallic inclusions and bubbles in the discharge flow are absorbed by the continuous casting mold flux of the meniscus 11 at the part of the meniscus reached. Further, the discharge flow 14 receives electromagnetic force due to the electromagnetic coil 4 whereby the spread of the discharge flow in the cast slab thickness direction is suppressed and the discharge flow 14 does not contact the long side shell 12, so it is possible to keep nonmetallic inclusions and bubbles from being trapped from the discharge flow 14 at the long side shell 12.

A continuous casting apparatus for steel includes: a casting mold for casting a molten steel with a pair of long side walls and a pair of short side walls; a submerged entry nozzle which discharges the molten steel into the casting mold; and an electromagnetic stirring device which is disposed along each external surface of each of the long side walls and stirs an upper portion of the molten steel within the casting mold. A curved portion which is convexly curved toward the electromagnetic stirring device in plan view is formed at least at a position where the curved portion faces the submerged entry nozzle on each of the long side walls, and each of the long side walls including the curved portion has a uniform thickness. The shortest horizontal distance between a top which is a most depressed position when an internal surface of the curved portion is seen in plan view and an outer peripheral surface of the submerged entry nozzle is 30 mm to 80 mm in a range from a lower end portion of the electromagnetic stirring device to a position higher than an upper end portion thereof by 50 mm when viewed along a vertical direction.

In order to quickly and economically evaluate cleanliness of a metal with high representativity when quantities, compositions, etc., of non-metallic inclusion particles existing in a metal and resulting in product defects are evaluated by a sample collected during the production process of the metal, the present invention provides an evaluation method involving the steps of levitation-melting a metal piece for a predetermined time by cold crucible levitation-melting means, discharging non-metallic inclusion particles contained in the metal piece to the surface of a molten metal, and directly analyzing a curved and non-smooth sample surface after solidification by a fluorescent X-ray analysis method using an energy dispersion type spectroscope, or by other chemical or physical measurements, to measure or analyze the quantities of elements constituting the non-metallic inclusion particles and to determine quantity of the non-metallic inclusions.
摘要:
A method and an apparatus for continuously casting a metal slab made of steel are provided for uniformly circulating molten metal on a meniscus in a mold. The cast metal slab has no surface defect such as a slitting. On the meniscus, the method and apparatus operates to generate electromagnetic stirring thrusts along two long mold sides, these thrusts being opposed to each other. The thrust oriented from a dipping nozzle to the short mold side is made larger than the thrust oriented from the short mold side to the dipping nozzle. A circuit for connecting each coil of a shifting field electromagnetic stirring coil part with a three-phase power supply is symmetric to another circuit with respect to the dipping nozzle. The circuit is divided into two parts along each long mold side. The divided circuit parts are located in parallel but have respective impedances.

The present invention provides a method, for regulating the flow of a molten steel within a mold by taking advantage of a direct current magnetic field, comprising the step of carrying out continuous casting while regulating the flow of a molten steel, delivered through a nozzle, by applying a direct current magnetic field having a substantially uniform magnetic flux distribution over the whole width direction of the mold, characterized in that the flow velocity of a meniscus on the surface of the molten steel within the mold is regulated in a range of from 0.20 to 0.40 m/sec by regulating the molten steel delivery angle of the nozzle, the position of the magnetic field, and the magnetic flux density. When the flow velocity of the meniscus is greatly increased, a stream of the molten steel delivered through the nozzle is allowed to collide directly with a short-side wall of the mold and, thereafter, the flow velocity is regulated according to the following equation (1), while, when the flow velocity of the meniscus is increased or decreased, a stream of the molten steel delivered through the nozzle is allowed to traverse a magnetic field zone and then to collide with a short-side wall of the mold and, thereafter, the flow velocity is regulated according to the following equation (2):V.sub.P /V.sub.O =1+.alpha..sub.1 {1-exp(-.beta..sub.1 .multidot.H.sup.2)}(1)V.sub.P /V.sub.O =1+.alpha..sub.2 {sin (.beta..sub.2 .multidot.H)exp(-r.multidot.H)} (2)wherein H=185.8.multidot.B.sup.2 .multidot.D.multidot.T/(D+T)V.
