<p>A molding device for continuous casting with a stirring unit that suppresses the amount of generated heat, requires easy maintenance, and is easy to use actually, is provided as a molding device that can be made small at a low cost regardless of the size of a product to be obtained. The molding device includes a mold that forms a casting by cooling the received melt, and a stirring unit that applies a magnetic field to the melt present in the mold and allows a current to flow in the melt in this state. The mold includes a cylindrical mold body that is vertically provided; a central portion of the mold body forms a vertical casting space that includes an upper inlet into which the melt flows and a lower outlet from which a product is taken out; a transition plate body, which has a ring shape and functions as a transition plate, is disposed at the inlet of the mold space; the melt is allowed to flow into the casting space from a hole that is formed at a central portion of the transition plate body; and the stirring unit includes a magnetic field unit including an upper magnet that includes a permanent magnet body provided above a bottom plate of the transition plate body with the bottom plate interposed therebetween and making lines of magnetic force vertically run into the casting space, and a pair of electrodes that allow a current to flow through the melt when the melt is contained in the casting space, generate an electromagnetic force by making the flowing current cross the lines of magnetic force, and include a first electrode provided at the inlet side and a second electrode provided at the outlet side.</p> |
