Abstract

See full text

In a continuous casting device 100 for casting a stainless steel billet 3c, a long nozzle 2 extending into a tundish 101 is provided at a ladle 1. A molten stainless steel 3 is poured through the long nozzle 2 into the tundish 101, and a spout 2a of the long nozzle 2 is immersed into the poured molten stainless steel 3. During pouring, an argon gas 4a is supplied around the molten stainless steel 3 in the tundish 101. Further, continuous casting is performed, in which, while immersing the spout 2a of the long nozzle 2 into the molten stainless steel 3 in the tundish 101, the molten stainless steel 3 is poured from the ladle 1 into the tundish 101 and poured from the tundish 101 into a casting mold 105. During casting, a nitrogen gas 4b is supplied instead of the argon gas 4a around the molten stainless steel 3 inside the tundish 101.
