UP-DRAWING CONTINUOUS CASTING APPARATUS AND UP-DRAWING CONTINUOUS CASTING METHOD

摘要

An up-drawing continuous casting apparatus according to one aspect of the present invention is an up-drawing continuous casting apparatus including a molten metal holding furnace (101) configured to hold molten metal (M1) therein, and a shape determining member (102) placed on a molten metal surface of the molten metal (M1) and configured to determine a sectional shape of a casting (M3) to be casted when retained molten metal (M2) led out from the molten metal surface passes through the shape determining member (102). The shape determining member (102) includes inner shape determining plates (1041, 1042) connectable to each other, and an inner shape determining plate (1043) serving as a connecting member configured to connect the inner shape determining plates (1041, 1042) to each other.
