METHOD OF MAKING LONG INGOTS BY CUTTING IN FURNACE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a continuous casting furnace configured for efficiently continuously casting ingots, including titanium alloy ingots.SOLUTION: A furnace is configured with an internal cutter for cutting an ingot within a furnace interior chamber. The furnace typically includes a first interior chamber in which a continuous casting mold is disposed, and a withdrawal chamber which is separate from the first interior chamber to facilitate withdrawal of finished ingots from the first chamber while casting continues within the first chamber.
