Abstract
A method for manufacturing a roll mantle or roll body for a roll line of a continuous casting apparatus that has a shaft includes casting a metal to form the roll mantle or roll body such that the roll mantle or roll body includes at least one internal channel. The roll mantle or roll body has a first end region, a second end region and a central region between the first end region and the second end region, the central region extending along at least 50% of a length of the roll mantle or roll body, and the internal channel may be formed in the central region. The internal channel may also include a pattern or projection.

A method for manufacturing a roll mantle or roll body for a roll line of a continuous casting apparatus comprising a shaft, the method comprising:
- casting a metal to form the roll mantle or roll body such that the roll mantle or roll body includes at least one internal channel,
- wherein the casting comprises forming the at least one internal channel so that the at least one internal channel comprises at least one feature on at least part of an inner surface of the at least one internal channel.
A method for manufacturing a roll mantle or roll body for a roll line of a continuous casting apparatus comprising a shaft, the method comprising:
- casting a metal to form the roll mantle or roll body such that the roll mantle or roll body includes at least one internal channel,
- wherein the at least one internal channel has at least one inlet and at least one outlet and a length from the at least one inlet to the at least one outlet, and
- wherein the at least one internal channel is formed with a non-uniform cross section along the length.
