Estimating the term…
A mold for horizontal continuous casting of steel to form large-format slab cross sections, particularly flat products, includes a water-cooled metal casing forming the mold cavity for a slab and a brake ring for the melt feed which is supported at the mold on the pour-in side and connects the mold with a melt supply vessel (distributor) via a connecting casting tube. In order to provide an inexpensive and particularly stable mold, the mold is closed on the pour-in side by a metal plate along a part of the free cross-sectional area of the mold cavity. The plate has one or more openings for receiving a break ring. An end plate which overlaps the metal plate is arranged in front of the metal plate in surface contact with the metal plate. The end plate is provided with openings which coincide with the openings in the metal plate with respect to position and number. Ducts for guiding cooling water are incorporated in the end plate.
A mold for horizontal continuous casting of steel for producing large-size slab cross sections, the mold comprising a water-cooled metal casing forming a mold cavity for a slab, the mold cavity having a pour-in side and defining a free cross-sectional area, and a metal plate for closing the mold cavity on the pour-in side thereof along a portion of the free cross-sectional area of the mold cavity, the metal plate having at least one opening for receiving a break ring, each break ring being connected to a distributor through a casting tube for supplying melt, an end plate which overlaps the metal plate being arranged in front of the metal plate in surface contact therewith, the end plate being provided with at least one opening which coincides with the at least one opening of the metal plate, the end plate defining ducts for conveying cooling water therethrough.
