A continuous casting apparatus, continuous casting method and aluminum
alloy cast bar enable stable and smooth high-speed casting with a reduced
amount of a lubricant and prevent occurrence of breakout and lubricant
reaction products, resulting in reduction in ingot failure. The present
invention provides a continuous casting apparatus for producing aluminum
alloy cast bars, including a tundish containing molten aluminum alloy, a
mold which has an upstream end and a downstream end and to which the
molten aluminum alloy is supplied through the upstream end of the mold,
an insulation member which is disposed between the tundish and the
upstream end of the mold and which has a molten metal passage for
allowing communication between the tundish and the mold, and a separation
layer disposed on the insulation member and having an aperture which is
in communication with the molten metal passage, wherein a lubricant which
has been supplied to the mold and transferred to the insulation members
is blocked with the separation layer.
