METHOD OF CONTINUOUS CASTING OF STEEL AND APPARATUS THEREFOR

摘要

A method of continuous casting and an apparatus therefor are disclosed in which steel cast is drawn by being guided along a single path including a curved reforming section (1) with the drive force and the brake force applied to the steel cast upstream and downstream of the section respectively to subject the steel cast to a compressive force at the section. The brake force downstream of the section is controlled in such a way that the drive force of drive rollers for feeding the steel cast upstream of the section does not exceed but approaches as near as possible to an upper critical value of the drive force determined not to cause any slip between the drive rollers and the steel cast.
