Title:
CONTINUOUS CASTING METHOD FOR METAL, ITS DEVICE AND ITS PRODUCT
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS5717351
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
Dense homogeneous metal rod (12) is continuously cast in long lengths by introducing liquid metal into the lower portion of an elongated, upwardly- extending alternating electromagnetic field (28) solidifying the metal while moving upwardly through the field, and removing solidified metal rod product from the upper portion of the field. The field may act to support the weight of the upwardly-moving metal column, to move the column upwards, to contain the column and maintain it out of contact with the wall of a surrounding tube (25), and provide a stirring effect to homogenise the solidifying metal.
