METHOD OF CASTING AN INGOT IN A THIN-WALLED DEFORMABLE STEEL MOULD

摘要

A method of manufacturing an ingot made of a high-melting point metal such as iron, steel, nickel, cobalt and alloys thereof, in which a thin-walled mould is vertically and movably supported by a molten bath contained in a bath tank and a molten metal is poured into said mould to move it downwards into said molten bath in response to an increase of the amount of the molten metal poured in the mould. The molten metal poured in the mould is cooled and coagulated upwards in succession from the lower end of the mould, thereby forming an ingot in the mould.
