Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a casting apparatus and a casting method. The casting method includes injecting a molten material into a mold by using a nozzle, forming a static magnetic field applied region and a non-static magnetic field applied region in a width direction of the mold and controlling a flow of the molten material in a longitudinal direction of the mold, and drawing a cast slab. Through this, as the flow of the molten material accommodated in a container is locally controlled, cleanliness of the molten material may be secured, and a quality of a product may be improved.
Claims22
A casting apparatus for casting a cast slab, comprising:
- a mold configured to provide an inner space for accommodating a molten material;
- a nozzle disposed above the mold to supply the molten material into the mold;
- a static magnetic field generation unit disposed on an outside in a width direction of the mold so that magnetic fields at both edges in the width direction of the mold are controlled in different directions;
- and
- a control unit configured to control an operation of the static magnetic field generation unit.
