Abstract
A build-up mold for continuous casting has a cooling plate having a plurality of separate and unconnected slit grooves forming cooling channels by a supporting panel attached to the cooling plate using tightening members, wherein the width of the slit grooves next to the tightening members is wider than the width of other slit grooves while depth of all slit grooves are substantially the same.
Claims13
A build-up mold for continuous casting comprising:
- a cooling plate having a back surface with a plurality of slit grooves for passing a cooling fluid, each one of said plurality of slit grooves having a depth and a width;
- a supporting panel configured to cover said plurality of slit grooves so as to form a plurality of cooling channels;
- and
- at least one tightening member for attaching said supporting panel to said back surface,
- wherein each one of said cooling channels is separate, distinct, and unconnected from, and has substantially the same depth as, the other cooling channels, and said width varies based on a localized cooling requirement for said tightening member.
