摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a continuous casting apparatus which enables stable and smooth high-speed casting with a reduced amount of a lubricant and prevents occurrence of breakout and lubricant reaction products, resulting in remarkable reduction in ingot failure.;SOLUTION: In the horizontal continuous casting apparatus where a molten alloy 255 within a tundish 250 is supplied from one end of a horizontally arranged mold 201 into the mold 201 to produce an aluminum alloy cast rod, a molten metal passage 211 formed at an insulation member 2 (2a, 2b) arranged between the tundish 250 and the one end of the mold 201 and allowing communication between the tundish 250 and the mold 201 and the mold 201 have a relationship such that a lowermost position of an inner diameter of the molten metal passage is higher than a lowermost position of an inner diameter of the mold by 8% or more of an inner diameter of the mold.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
