  • Dual drum type continuous casting device and method for continuous casting
    Patent number: 7147033
    Abstract: A twin-drum continuous casting apparatus for casting a metal sheet (4) by supplying molten metal (3) to a pouring basin formed by a pair of cooling drums (1) rotating in opposite directions, and side gates (2), to cool the molten metal (3) by contact with surfaces of the cooling drums (1), thereby forming a solidified shell. The cooling drum (1) is formed from a drum body (11) having shaft portions at opposite end portions, and a drum sleeve (10) fitted on an outer peripheral portion of the drum body (11). Also, means is provided for preventing various adverse influences due to differences in thermal expansion of constituent members of the drum body (11) during casting. Thus, the reliability of the apparatus is increased, and the quality of casting is improved.

  • Oxygen-blown steelmaking furnace
    Patent number: 4474361
    Abstract: An oxygen blow steelmaking furnace comprises a device for supplying materials for blowing into the furnace, a plurality of sensing devices, and a computer control device. The supplying device supplies into the furnace oxygen and fluxes from above and, as occasion demands, at least one of oxygen, carbon dioxide and inert gas from below. The sensing devices individually respond to different properties that represent the blowing condition. The computer control device sets a program for the blow based on the charging and blowing-out conditions, responds to the sensing devices, and outputs the operating instructions to the supplying device.
