Electromagnetic braking apparatus for continuous casting mold.

摘要

An electromagnetic braking apparatus for a continuous casting mold comprises a casting mold (1) with a rectangular cross section including wide side walls (2) and narrow end walls (3); electromagnets (10) each of which comprises a core (7) disposed along the side wall of the casting mold and a coil (8) wound around the core for applying a magnetic field in the direction across the side walls of the casting mold (1); and a support frame (6) for supporting a width changing device (4) for changing the width of the casting mold (1) and cooling boxes (5) for cooling the casting mold (1), the support frame (6) extending to surround the casting mold (1) and the electromagnets (10) and connected to the cores (7) of the electromagnets (10) to thereby form the magnetic path of the electromagnets (10). <IMAGE>
