Abstract (en)

In a continuous casting method including applying an AC magnetic field to in-mold molten steel, thereby creating a swirling and stirring flow in the in-mold molten steel, an appropriate AC magnetic flux density is provided in accordance with the submergence depth of a submerged entry nozzle and the distance from the surface of the in-mold molten steel to the location of the peak of the AC magnetic field to produce a high-quality strand.A continuous steel casting method according to the present invention is a continuous steel casting method including applying an AC magnetic field to in-mold molten steel via AC magnetic field generation devices, thereby creating a horizontal swirling and stirring flow in the in-mold molten steel, each of the AC magnetic field generation devices being placed on a back surface of a corresponding one of a pair of mold long sides, the AC magnetic field generation devices facing each other. A spacing between the mold long sides that face each other is 200 to 300 mm, a submerged entry nozzle has two discharge ports, each of the discharge ports having a discharge angle within a range of 5° in a downward direction to 50° in a downward direction, the AC magnetic field has a frequency of 0.5 Hz or greater and 3.0 Hz or less, and, in accordance with a location of a peak of the AC magnetic field, a submergence depth of the submerged entry nozzle and a magnetic flux density at the location of the peak of the AC magnetic field generated by the AC magnetic field generation devices are controlled to be within a predetermined range.
