ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for vertical continuous casting. The vertical continuous casting includes drawing a strand formed in a watercooled mold vertically downward therefrom, positioning light reduction pinch rollers just prior to the solidification completing point of the strand, and applying a light reduction force to the strand sufficient to compensate for contraction caused by solidification of the strand. By this procedure the formation of central cavities is prevented and central segregation is lessened. The light reduction pinch rollers are arranged to be adjustably positioned up and down along the strand, in order to compensate for fluctuations in the location of the solidification completing point of the strand.
