HORIZONTAL TYPE CONTINUOUS CASTING MACHINE FOR CASTING MOLTEN STEEL INTO CAST STEEL STRAND

摘要

A horizontal type continuous casting machine for casting molten steel into a cast steel strand, which comprises: a tundish for receiving molten steel to be cast; a horizontal metal mold connected through a front nozzle, a feed nozzle, a break ring and a metal spacer ring having therein a cooling water passage to an opening provided in the lower portion of a side wall of the tundish; at least one pair of pinch rolls for intermittently and continuously withdrawing molten steel directed from the tundish to the horizontal mold into a cast steel strand in the horizontal direction through the horizontal mold by means of a plurality of cycles each comprising one pull and one push; and a cooling zone for cooling the cast steel strand withdrawn from the horizontal mold.
