Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0780176A2] A continuous casting apparatus of a reduction type in which a mold is composed of long-side mold elements (2) and short-side mold elements (1), each short-side mold element (1) including a reduction portion (7) widened at its upper portion and narrowed at its lower portion and a straight portion (8), so that reduction is performed in a state that solidification is suppressed on a short-side mold element (1) side. The reduction portion (7) is made of a refractory member, and the straight portion (8) is made of a water-cooled copper plate. The refractory member (7) may be made from a material mainly containing ZrB2, and it may be divided in a plurality of parts. To control a temperature distribution of the short-side mold element (1), a high temperature supply passage (13) is provided in a back surface portion of the short-side mold element (1). An elastically deformable frame is arranged at a contact portion between a reduction portion (7) made of a refractory member and a long-side mold element (2) for preventing formation of gaps between the short-side mold element (1) and the long-side mold element (2). Also, a seal member is provided at a contact portion between the short-side mold element (1) and the long-side mold element (2) for improving a sliding therebetween. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
