Abstract (en)

The present invention provides a horizontal continuous casting apparatus comprising an inert gas-purged resistance-heated type furnace 1, a crucible 6 for containing molten metal and having an outlet 8 for molten metal, coupled to a casting die 14, and a first clamping device 28-30,32 for securing the die 14 in sealing communication with the crucible 6. A carrier adaptor 44 of an oxidation resistant refractory material comprises: a feed nozzle 50 between the crucible outlet 8 and a casting die inlet 39, a female mounting portion 52 for receiving, in sealing inter-engagement, a male mounting portion 54 of the die 14, and sealing means 58 for inter-engagement with the furnace wall 34 around the aperture 36. A second clamping device 68,70,72, is provided for releasably securing the carrier adaptor 44, in sealing inter-engagement, to the crucible 6 and furnace wall 34. The first clamping device 28-30,32 releasably secures the casting die 14 to the carrier adapter 44.
