Claims9
1-10. (canceled)
System for the production of a metal component by continuous casting, comprising:
- at least one mold integrated by at least one molding chamber and at least one cooling channel external to the molding chamber;
- said molding chamber comprising at least one outlet port of metal in solid state;
- said cooling channel comprising at least one inlet path of cooling fluid and at least one outlet path of cooling fluid;
- the system for the production of a metal component by continuous casting being especially characterized by the fact that it comprises:
- at least one match mold disposed at least partly inside the molding chamber of the mold;
- said match mold comprising a tubular body provided with at least one interface end and at least one inlet port of metal in liquid state;
- wherein the inlet port of metal in liquid state comprises a through channel disposed at the interface end of the match mold;
- wherein it further comprises at least one traction device adapted to exert tensile force on the metal body expelled through the outlet port of metal in solid state of the molding chamber;
- wherein said one traction device defines at least one closure means to block the flow of liquid metal at the very moment the first filling of the chamber occurs;
- wherein said one traction device closure means is able to hold said outlet port of metal in solid state closed in the molding chamber while the liquid metal changes its state to solid metal;
- and
- wherein said one traction device further defines a puller able to, after said blocking, play the role of the first solidified part of metal.
