Abstract
A method of controlling drawing of a cast piece in horizontal continuous casting, in which drawing is controlled in accordance with an inwardly curved passage to keep the acceleration low at the start of the drawing and to increase it gradually in the drawing process for the purpose of reducing the number of bubbles appearing on the surface layer of the cast piece by sucking the ambient air into the mold when drawing the cast piece.
Claims2
A withdrawal control process of horizontal continuous casting comprising a cast matter pulling cycle composed of a pull step, a pause step and a push back step, characterized in that the pull step is controlled along an inwardly curved pulling velocity trace in the pull acceleration beginning stage and that the value of acceleration of said cast matter pulling velocity at the beginning part of the acceleration stage in the pull step is not larger than 0.6 m/sec.sup.2.
