Abstract
A mold of a caterpillartype track mold for a continuous caster features at least at one place a pair of wires which form a thermocouple and make first contact outside the mold. The wires are inserted into the mold in such a manner that their other ends are separated from the surface of the mold facing the melt by a metallic layer which joins these wires and is at most 100 .mu.m thick. The process for manufacturing this mold is such that the metallic layer is electro-deposited on to the ends of the wires.
