    摘要: A tundish upper nozzle structure and a continuous casting method make it possible to cause inclusions to float within a tundish. A flange-shaped member having an outside dimension greater than that of an upper end of a tundish upper nozzle is provided along a part or the entirety of the circumference of the upper end of the tundish upper nozzle, and one or more gas discharge holes are provided in one or more of the following surfaces: a lower surface, an outer peripheral surface and a top surface of the flange-shaped member, and a region of an outer peripheral surface of the tundish upper nozzle below the flange-shaped member. A length in the tundish upper nozzle structure is adjusted to cause almost all gas to float upwardly, or to adjust the flow rate of gas flowing downwardly toward the inner bore of the tundish upper nozzle, and the flow rate of gas floating upwardly.

    摘要: It is intended to provide a flat immersion nozzle capable of stabilizing a molten steel discharge flow to stabilize an in-mold bath surface, i.e., reduce the fluctuation of the in-mold bath surface. Provided is an immersion nozzle having a flat portion whose inner bore has a thickness and a width greater than the thickness, wherein two lateral protrusions each protruding in a thickness direction are provided on each of opposed walls of the flat portion extending in a width direction. The lateral protrusions are arranged at axial symmetrical positions with respect to a longitudinal central axis of the width-directionally extending walls, in pairs, such that each of them extends obliquely downwardly in the width direction, wherein two pairs of the lateral protrusions are arranged, respectively, on the opposed width-directionally extending walls, in opposed relation.

    摘要: In a sliding nozzle comprising three plates consisting of an upper plate, an intermediate plate capable of a sliding movement, and a lower plate, it is intended to suppress adhesion and deposition of metal oxides and others on wall surfaces of inner bores of the three plates. The intermediate plate has: a first inclined portion whose surface defines a slidingly closing directional leading-side wall surface of an inner bore thereof and extends obliquely downwardly in a diametrically contracting direction; a second inclined portion whose surface defines an upper part of a slidingly closing directional trailing-side wall surface of the inner bore thereof and extends obliquely downwardly in a diametrically contracting direction, and a third inclined portion whose surface defines a lower part of the slidingly closing directional trailing-side wall surface of the inner bore thereof and extends obliquely downwardly in a diametrically expanding direction.

    摘要: A nozzle structure for discharging molten steel with improved sealing performance. The nozzle structure comprises: a molten steel discharge path having an inner bore; and one or more joints through which the molten steel discharge path is divided at one or more positions in a orthogonal direction with respect to an upward-downward direction of discharge of molten steel, and which join the molten steel discharge path. An inner bore sleeve is formed of a refractory material, and provided on an inner bore surface of the nozzle structure to extend in the upward-downward direction across at least one of the joints.

    摘要: A cordierite-based sintered body comprises cordierite as a primary crystal phase and LaMgAl11O19 as a secondary crystal phase, wherein a ratio ILMA (114)/IMAS (004) is in the range of 0.01 to 0.8, where the ILMA (114) denotes a peak intensity of a (114) plane of LaMgAl11O19 as measured by powder X-ray diffractometry, and the IMAS (004) denotes a peak intensity of a (004) plane of cordierite as measured by powder X-ray diffractometry. The disclosure is intended to enhance mechanical property and improve complex and fine processability for a cordierite-based sintered body without compromising low thermal expansibility, high dimensional long-term stability, high stiffness (high elastic modulus) and precision polishing characteristic.

    摘要: With a view to adding, to an upper nozzle formed with a bore having a shape capable of creating a less energy loss or smooth (constant) molten steel flow to suppress the occurrence of adhesion of inclusions and metals in molten steel, a gas injection function to thereby further suppress the occurrence of the adhesion, the present invention provides a method of using an upper nozzle configured to have a cross-sectional shape of a wall surface defining the bore, taken along an axis of the bore, comprising a curve represented by the following formula: log(r (z))=(1/n)×log((H+L)/(H+z))+log(r (L)) (n=1.5 to 6), where: L is a length of the upper nozzle; H is a calculational hydrostatic head height; and r (z) is an inner radius of the bore at a position downwardly away from an upper edge of the bore by a distance z. The method comprises using the upper nozzle in such a manner as to satisfy the following relationship: RG≦4.3×VL, where RG is a gas rate defined as a volume ratio of a flow rate QG (Nl/s) of injection gas to a flow rate QL (l/s) of molten steel flowing through the bore (RG=(QG/QL)×100(%)), and VL is a flow speed of the molten steel at a lower edge of the upper nozzle.

When the first engagement portion 14 is engaged with and supported by the first support portion 22, the fitting concave portion 16 of the plate and the fitting convex portion 21 of the plate-receiving metal frame positionally conform to each other in the sliding direction of the plate. Then, when the second engagement portion 15 is engaged with the second support portion 23, the fitting concave portion 16 and the fitting convex portion 21 positionally conform to each other in a direction perpendicular to the sliding direction of the plate.
