Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An up-drawing continuous casting method casts a casting having a bent portion. When an angle (θ) (where, 0°≤θ≤90°) between an up-drawing direction of molten metal and an upper surface of a shape determining member is reduced to a first angle, drawing up the molten metal while maintaining the angle (θ) at the first angle, and casting a first casting, and casting a connecting portion adjacent to the cast first casting; interrupting the drawing up of the molten metal, and dipping the connecting portion into the molten metal while passing the connecting portion through the shape determining member, and melting the connecting portion; and setting the angle (θ) to a second angle that is larger than the first angle, restarting the drawing up of the molten metal and casting a second casting adjacent to the first casting.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An up-drawing continuous casting method that makes it possible to cast a casting having a bent portion, by drawing up molten metal held in a holding furnace while passing the molten metal through a shape determining member that determines a sectional shape of the cast casting, comprising: when an angle between an up-drawing direction of the molten metal and an upper surface of the shape determining member, wherein the angle between the up-drawing direction of the molten metal and the upper surface of the shape determining member is within a range from greater than 0° to 90° (0<θ≤90°), is reduced to a first angle, drawing up the molten metal while maintaining the angle between the up-drawing direction of the molten metal and the upper surface of the shape determining member at the first angle, and casting a first casting, and then casting a connecting portion adjacent to the cast first casting; interrupting the drawing up of the molten metal, and dipping the connecting portion into the molten metal while passing the connecting portion through the shape determining member, and melting the connecting portion; and setting the angle between the up-drawing direction of the molten metal and the upper surface of the shape determining member to a second angle that is larger than the first angle, restarting the drawing up of the molten metal and casting a second casting adjacent to the first casting. 2. The up-drawing continuous casting method according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting portion is separated from the molten metal when the drawing up of the molten metal is interrupted. 3. The up-drawing continuous casting method according to claim 1 , wherein the first angle is greater than 30°. 4. The up-drawing continuous casting method according to claim 1 , wherein when dipping the connecting portion into the molten metal, the connecting portion is dipped into the molten metal with a longitudinal direction of the connecting portion being aligned with a direction perpendicular to a molten metal surface of the molten metal.
