Abstract

Steel is continuously cast in a mold at a casting speed of 2.5 to 10 m/min while the mold is oscillated so as to satisfy the relationship 450≦(S×f/Vc)≦1000, wherein S is the stroke of mold oscillation in mm, f is the frequency of mold oscillation in cycles per minute, and Vc is the casting speed in m/min.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A continuous casting method comprising continuously casting steel in a mold at a casting speed of at least 2.5 m/min and at most 10 m/min to form a slab while oscillating the mold so as to satisfy the relationship  
       450≦( S×f/Vc )≦1000  
       wherein S is the stroke of mold oscillation in mm (4 mm≦S≦15 mm), f is the frequency of mold oscillation in cycles per minute, and Vc is the casting speed in m/min.  
     
     
         2 . A method as claimed in    claim 1    wherein the mold has a cavity with a thickness of 50-120 mm.  
     
     
         3 . A method as claimed in    claim 1    wherein the mold has a cavity with a thickness of 70-110 mm.  
     
     
         4 . A method as claimed in    claim 1    including hot rolling the slab after casting to form thin steel sheet without allowing the slab to cool to below its Ac 3  point between casting and hot rolling.  
     
     
         5 . A method as claimed in    claim 4    wherein the casting speed Vc is less than 8.0 m/min.  
     
     
         6 . A method as claimed in    claim 1    wherein the following relationship is satisfied.  
       500≦( S×Vc )≦900
