METHOD OF CONTINUOUS CASTING OF INGOT SLABS Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: casting processes. SUBSTANCE: method comprises steps of feeding a liquid metal into a gap between a driven drum, driven rims and a belt, embracing the rims; forming an ingot in the gap in radial direction and reducing it in solid-liquid state by moving drum relative to the belt; cooling the belt sprayed water; providing discrete efforts, acting upon the belt in its cross direction to a side of the rims with use of rollers; drawing the ingot out-of-the gap with a variable speed; upon continuous casting providing the efforts, acting upon the belt, with a pitch value, equal to 0.6-2.2 of a thickness value of the ingot in a diametrical horizontal plane of the drum. EFFECT: enhanced quality of ingot slabs. 1 cl, 2 dwg, 1 tbl
