Abstract
The narrow sides or side walls of a plate mold are adjusted or set, during continuous casting, while increasing their mutual spacing from one another in order to increase the sectional shape or format of the continuously cast strand. The withdrawn heat of the narrow sides of the mold is measured and used as a control magnitude for setting the adjustment speed of such narrow sides of the mold.
Claims3
A method of adjusting the setting speed of the narrow sides of a plate mold during the continuous casting of a metal, comprising the steps of:
- moving at least one narrow side wall of the plate mold towards the outside during the continuous casting operation in order to increase the spacing between the narrow sides of the continuous casting mold;
- measuring the quantity of heat which is withdrawn at said at least one narrow side wall during its adjustment;
- and
- adjusting said at least one narrow side wall of the plate mold only at such a speed that the quantity of heat which is withdrawn does not fall below a predetermined magnitude.
