Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3488947A1] Surface cracking caused by nonuniform cooling of a solidifying shell at the initial stage of solidification is prevented, and the occurrence of center segregation in a thicknesswise central portion of a strand is reduced.Metal-filled portions with different thermal conductivity filled with a metal having a thermal conductivity that differs by at least 20% from the thermal conductivity of a mold copper plate of a continuous casting mold are disposed on an inner wall surface of the mold copper plate in a region extending from a position at least 20 mm above the position of a meniscus to a position at least 50 mm and at most 200 mm below the position of the meniscus. The area fraction of the total area of the metal-filled portions with different thermal conductivity relative to the area of the inner wall surface on which the plurality of metal-filled portions with different thermal conductivity are disposed is from 10% to 80% inclusive. A distance (D1) and an oscillation mark pitch (OMP) that is derived from the frequency of oscillation (f) and a casting speed (Vc) satisfy formula (1) below, and a distance (D2) satisfies formula (2) below.In formula (2), r is the radius (mm) of a circle having a center at the center of gravity of one of the metal-filled portions with different thermal conductivity and having the same area as the one of the metal-filled portions with different thermal conductivity.
