Abstract

A mold for continuous casting includes a cylindrical mold body with one end serving as a molten metal supply port and the other end serving as an ingot outlet, and a carbon ring arranged on the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical mold body, wherein the carbon ring is configured by stacking a first ring member arranged on the one end side and a second ring member arranged on the other end side.

Claims (29)

1. A mold for continuous casting, comprising:

a cylindrical mold body with one end serving as a molten metal supply port and the other end serving as an ingot outlet, and

a carbon ring arranged on the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical mold body,

wherein the carbon ring is configured by stacking a first ring member arranged on the one end side and a second ring member arranged on the other end side, and wherein the mold body includes a lubricant supply path connected to the second ring member, and a gas supply path connected to the second ring member and arranged at a distance from the lubricant supply path.

2. The mold for continuous casting according to claim 1 , wherein the mold body includes a lubricant supply path connected to the second ring member, and a gas supply path connected to the second ring member and arranged at a distance from the lubricant supply path, wherein a connecting portion connecting the lubricant supply path and the second ring member is arranged closer to the first ring member than a connecting portion connecting the gas supply path and the second ring member.

3. The mold for continuous casting according to claim 2 , wherein the connecting portion connecting the lubricant supply path and the second ring member and the connecting portion connecting the lubricant supply path and the second ring member are arranged to overlap each other when viewed from the direction connecting the one end and the other end.

4. The mold for continuous casting according to claim 3 , wherein the second ring member is longer than the first ring member in the length in the direction connecting the one end and the other end.

5. The mold for continuous casting according to claim 4 , wherein, of the first ring member and the second ring member, at least the second ring member has a bulk density of 1.65 g/cm 3 to 1.9 g/cm 3 and is made of a graphite material with a bending strength of 30 MPa to 98 MPa.

6. The mold for continuous casting according to claim 3 , wherein, of the first ring member and the second ring member, at least the second ring member has a bulk density of 1.65 g/cm 3 to 1.9 g/cm 3 and is made of a graphite material with a bending strength of 30 MPa to 98 MPa.

7. The mold for continuous casting according to claim 2 , wherein the second ring member is longer than the first ring member in the length in the direction connecting the one end and the other end.

8. The mold for continuous casting according to claim 7 , wherein, of the first ring member and the second ring member, at least the second ring member has a bulk density of 1.65 g/cm 3 to 1.9 g/cm 3 and is made of a graphite material with a bending strength of 30 MPa to 98 MPa.

9. The mold for continuous casting according to claim 2 , wherein, of the first ring member and the second ring member, at least the second ring member has a bulk density of 1.65 g/cm 3 to 1.9 g/cm 3 and is made of a graphite material with a bending strength of 30 MPa to 98 MPa.

10. The mold for continuous casting according to claim 2 , wherein a groove configured for the lubricant supplied from the lubricant supply path to flow to the molten metal side is formed in a surface of the second ring member that is stacked on the first ring member.

11. The mold for continuous casting according to claim 2 , wherein a lubricant flow groove, through which lubricant supplied from the lubricant supply path passes, is formed along the inner peripheral surface in the second ring member.

12. The mold for continuous casting according to claim 2 , wherein a gas flow groove, through which a gas supplied from the gas supply path passes, is formed along the inner peripheral surface in the second ring member.

13. The mold for continuous casting according to claim 1 , wherein the second ring member is longer than the first ring member in the length in the direction connecting the one end and the other end.

14. The mold for continuous casting according to claim 13 , wherein, of the first ring member and the second ring member, at least the second ring member has a bulk density of 1.65 g/cm 3 to 1.9 g/cm 3 and is made of a graphite material with a bending strength of 30 MPa to 98 MPa.

15. The mold for continuous casting according to claim 1 , wherein, of the first ring member and the second ring member, at least the second ring member has a bulk density of 1.65 g/cm 3 to 1.9 g/cm 3 and is made of a graphite material with a bending strength of 30 MPa to 98 MPa.

16. A method of manufacturing a continuous casting rod, wherein a continuous casting rod is manufactured using the mold for continuous casting, comprising:

a cylindrical mold body with one end serving as a molten metal supply port and the other end serving as an ingot outlet, and

a carbon ring arranged on the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical mold body,

wherein the carbon ring is configured by stacking a first ring member arranged on the one end side and a second ring member arranged on the other end side, and

wherein the mold body includes a lubricant supply path connected to the second ring member, and a gas supply path connected to the second ring member and arranged at a distance from the lubricant supply path.

17. The method of manufacturing a continuous casting rod according to claim 16 , wherein lubricant supply and gas supply are independently controlled.

18. The method of manufacturing a continuous casting rod according to claim 16 , wherein a connecting portion connecting the lubricant supply path and the second ring member is arranged closer to the first ring member than a connecting portion connecting the gas supply path and the second ring member.

19. The method of manufacturing a continuous casting rod according to claim 16 , wherein a gap formed the first ring member and the second ring member for supplying lubricant.

20. The method of manufacturing a continuous casting rod according to claim 16 , wherein a groove configured for the lubricant supplied from the lubricant supply path to flow to the molten metal side is formed in a surface of the second ring member that is stacked on the first ring member.

21. The method of manufacturing a continuous casting rod according to claim 16 , wherein a lubricant flow groove, through which lubricant supplied from the lubricant supply path passes, is formed along the inner peripheral surface in the second ring member.

22. The method of manufacturing a continuous casting rod according to claim 16 , wherein a gas flow groove, through which a gas supplied from the gas supply path passes, is formed along the inner peripheral surface in the second ring member.
