Patent ID: 10406597

Abstract:
Provided is a continuous casting method of steel that prevents a solidification completion position from being changed even when a drawing speed V of a cast slab is changed. The method includes drawing a cast slab by setting a drawing speed V0 while spraying cooling water to the cast slab at a cooling water spray amount W0 [kg/ton-cast slab]. Then, changing the drawing speed to the speed V1 while spraying cooling water to the cast slab at a cooling water spray amount W1 [kg/ton-cast slab]. The method further includes spraying cooling water to the cast slab at a cooling water spray amount Wt [kg/ton-cast slab] during a period of time t that is obtained by dividing a target length Lt by the drawing speed V0. The water spray amount Wt satisfying either formula (1): Wt<W1 under a condition of V1<V0, or formula (2): Wt>W1 under a condition of V1>V0.
