Abstract
A liquid-cooled mold for the continuous casting of metals, including mold plates made of copper or a copper alloy, which are supported at their rear on supporting plates by the use of a plurality of bolts. The bolts have bolt heads in the region of the backsides of the supporting plates facing away from the mold plates. Between the bolt heads and the supporting plate an articulation system making possible relative motion between the mold plate and the supporting plates is incorporated, having two articulation members, between which a sliding element is undetachably embedded.

A liquid-cooled mold for the continuous casting of metals, comprising:
- mold plates made of one of copper and a copper alloy, which are supported at their rear on supporting plates by use of a plurality of bolts, the bolts having bolt heads applied in a region of a backsides of the supporting plates facing away from the mold plates;
- and
- articulation systems allowing relative motions between the mold plates and the supporting plates are incorporated between the bolt heads and the backsides, wherein the articulation systems each include a first articulation member assigned to the bolt head and a second articulation member assigned to the backside of the supporting plate, having sliding surfaces facing each other, a sliding element being undetachably incorporated between the sliding surfaces of the articulation members.
