DRUM OF DRUM TYPE CONTINUOUS CASTING MACHINE

摘要

PURPOSE:To know the thickness distribution of a solidified shell in the transverse direction and to prevent breakage of a billet owing to lack of solidification by disposing means for detecting the pressing forces that a drum exerts on the solidified shell at plural points in the transverse direction of the drum. CONSTITUTION:Grooves 2b are slotted to an inner drum 2a and projecting parts 2c contact the inside surface of the drum 2. Water is passed in the grooves 2c to cool the drum 2. Strain gauges 13 are adhered to the projecting parts 2c and the respective outputs enter an amplifier 15 via a slip ring 14. The distribution of the forces that the drum 2 exerts on the solidified shell is detected.
