CONTINUOUS METAL POURING METHOD Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: metallurgy, in particular, working of steel and alloys in the process of continuous pouring. SUBSTANCE: method involves feeding molten metal to crystallizer; introducing consumable wire and withdrawing billet from crystallizer. Wire consumption is set in accordance with dependence: P(w) = K • P(m), where P(w) is weight consumption of wire, kg/min; K is endless coefficient equal to (0.5-5.0) Q 10 10^-4; P(m) is weight consumption of metal in crystallizer, kg/min. EFFECT: increased efficiency and improved quality of metal. 1 tbl
