CONTINUOUS CASTING METHOD OF STEEL SLAB

摘要

In a continuous casting of steel slab, a molten steel is provided having an oxygen concentration of not more than 35 ppm and is supplied from a tundish into a continuous casting mold through a straight immersion nozzle having an open end at the forward end thereof, the mold consisting of a combination of a pair of narrow face mold walls and a pair of wide face mold walls. A traveling magnetic field generating device is disposed on a central area of the outer surface of the wide face mold walls. While the open forward end of the nozzle is positioned in the magnetic field region of the traveling magnetic field generating device, a traveling magnetic field which is perpendicular to the wide face mold walls and which is traveling upward is applied to a flow of the molten steel discharged from the nozzle, thereby controlling the flow. Preferably, an upper or lower static magnetic field generating device or both of them may be also used.
