Abstract
A dummy bar for a continuous metal casting plant, particularly for a continuous casting plant for preliminary steel sections, includes a one-piece head piece having dimensions corresponding to the dimensions of the mold cross-section and two rows of segments connected to the head piece. The two rows of segments extend parallel to each other in the longitudinal direction of the dummy bar and are spaced apart from each other by the width of the dummy bar. Flexible steel bands are mounted on each row of segments for connecting the segments.
Claims8
A dummy bar for a continuous casting plant for preliminary steel sections having an I-shape or H-shape, the dummy bar comprising:
- a one-piece head piece having dimensions corresponding to dimensions of a mold cross-section,
- two rows of segments connected to the head piece, wherein the two rows extend parallel to each other in a longitudinal direction of the dummy bar and are spaced apart from each other by a width of the dummy bar, the segments being beveled so as to downwardly recede at oppositely located surfaces of the two rows of segments, further comprising:
- a single continuous flexible spring steel band mounted on each row of segments for connecting the segments, wherein each flexible spring steel band is located on an inner side of a curved portion of the dummy bar and on an outer side of the row of segments.
