UP DRAWING CONTINUOUS CASTING APPARATUS AND UP DRAWING CONTINUOUS CASTING METHOD

摘要

An up drawing continuous casting apparatus includes a holding furnace that holds molten metal; a shape determining member that is arranged near a molten metal surface of a casting held in the holding furnace and that determines a sectional shape of the molten metal by the molten metal passing through the shape determining member; a cooling portion that cools and solidifies the molten metal that has passed through the shape determining member; and a molten metal cooling portion that lowers a temperature of the molten metal held in the holding furnace.
