Claims20
A copper mold or copper mold plate for the continuous casting of metals or metal alloys, the copper mold or copper mold plate comprising:
- a mold base body with an inner wall or a mold plate base body with a side that faces toward a casting strand being cast;
- a coating on the inner wall of the mold or on the side of the mold plate which faces toward the casting strand, the coating comprising an electrolytically applied Cu layer.
A process for reconditioning a copper mold or copper mold plate for continuous casting, the process comprising the steps of:
- removing material mechanically from an inner surface of the copper mold or copper mold plate that has been worn by continuous casting down to a maximum depth of wear grooves;
- and
- subsequent to said step of removing material, again coating the inner surface, wherein the coating material used is copper, which is applied electrolytically.
A copper mold or copper mold plate for the continuous casting of metals or metal alloys, the copper mold or copper mold plate being formed by the steps comprising:
- providing a copper mold base body with an inner wall or a copper mold plate base body with a side that faces toward a casting strand being cast;
- providing a coating on the inner wall of the mold or on the side of the mold plate which faces toward the casting strand including electrolytically applying a copper layer on the inner wall of the mold or on the side of the mold plate which faces toward the casting strand.
