Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An up-drawing continuous casting apparatus includes a holding furnace which holds molten metal, a guide-out member which guides the molten metal out from a surface of the molten metal held in the holding furnace, a shape determining member which is arranged to adjoin the surface of the molten metal and allows the molten metal guided out by the guide-out member to pass through the shape determining member to define a shape of a cross section of a casting, a cooling portion which cools the molten metal after the molten metal passes through the shape determining member, and an impact imparting portion which imparts an impact to the guide-out member or the casting.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . An up-drawing continuous casting apparatus comprising: a holding furnace which holds molten metal; a guide-out member which guides the molten metal out from a surface of the molten metal held in the holding furnace; a shape determining member which is arranged to adjoin the surface of the molten metal and allows the molten metal guided out by the guide-out member to pass through the shape determining member to define a shape of a cross section of a casting; a cooling portion which cools the molten metal after the molten metal passes through the shape determining member; and an impact imparting portion which imparts an impact to the guide-out member or the casting. 2 . The up-drawing continuous casting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the impact imparting portion imparts an impact to the guide-out member or the casting by striking the guide-out member or the casting with a metal rod. 3 . The up-drawing continuous casting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the impact imparting portion moves along a moving path of the guide-out member. 4 . The up-drawing continuous casting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the impact imparting portion is an oscillator. 5 . The up-drawing continuous casting apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the impact imparting portion is fixed to the guide-out member while contacting with the guide-out member. 6 . An up-drawing continuous casting method using a casting apparatus including: a guide-out member which guides molten metal out; a shape determining member which defines a shape of a cross section of a casting; and an impact imparting portion which imparts an impact to the guide-out member or the casting, the method comprising; guiding the molten metal out by the guide-out member to allow the molten metal to pass through the shape determining member, cooling the molten metal after passing through the shape determining member; and imparting an impact to the guide-out member or the casting by the impact imparting portion. 7 . The up-drawing continuous casting apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein imparting an impact to the guide-out member of the casting is carried out by striking the guide-out member or the casting with a metal rod by the impact imparting portion. 8 . The up-drawing continuous casting method according to claim 6 further comprising; moving the impact imparting portion along a moving path of the guide-out member. 9 . The up-drawing continuous casting method according to claim 6 , wherein the impact imparting portion is an oscillator. 10 . The up-drawing continuous casting method according to claim 9 , wherein the impact imparting portion is fixed to the guide-out member while contacting with the guide-out member.
