Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a method for casting a slab with good cast surface quality. The method includes pouring molten metal 8 into a mold 2 from one of the paired shorter sides of the mold 2 while allowing superheat ΔT [° C.], which is a temperature difference obtained by subtracting the melting point Tm [° C.] of the raw material from the temperature Tin [° C.] of the molten material on the surface of the molten metal in the mold and at the pouring point of the molten metal, to satisfy the following Formula (1) and Formula (2): 0.0014Δ T 2 +0.0144Δ T +699.45>800   Formula (1) 0.0008Δ T 2 +0.2472Δ T +853.02<1250   Formula (2)

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for continuously casting a slab containing titanium or a titanium alloy, the method comprising melting a raw material containing titanium or a titanium alloy to form molten metal, and pouring the molten metal into an open mold having a rectangular cross-section where the molten metal is solidified and withdrawn from the bottom of the mold, wherein the molten metal is poured from one of the paired shorter sides of the mold while allowing superheat ΔT [° C.], which is a temperature difference obtained by subtracting the melting point Tm [° C.] of the raw material from the temperature Tin [° C.] of the molten material on the surface of the molten metal in the mold and at the pouring point of the molten metal, to satisfy the following Formula (1) and Formula (2): 0.0014Δ T 2 +0.0144Δ T+ 699.45>800   Formula (1) 0.0008Δ T 2 +0.2472Δ T+ 853.02<1250.   Formula (2) 2. The method for continuously casting a slab containing titanium or a titanium alloy according to claim 1 , wherein the superheat ΔT is 300° C. or higher. 3. The method for continuously casting a slab containing titanium or a titanium alloy according to claim 2 , wherein the surface of the molten metal in the mold is heated by plasma arc. 4. The method for continuously casting a slab containing titanium or a titanium alloy according to claim 1 , wherein the surface of the molten metal in the mold is heated by plasma arc.
