MOLD FOR CONTINUOUSLY CASTING METALS Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: metallurgy. SUBSTANCE: mold has bearing plates and, fastened to them, wide and narrow working walls with longitudinal channels successively connected by transverse channels into separate sections disposed along wide walls, as well as supply and withdrawal pipelines. Number of channel sections in each wide working wall is 4-8. Sections are symmetrically arranged in relation to longitudinal axis of mold. Summary surface of longitudinal channels in each section decreases in discrete mode in direction from end sections to middle ones by 12.5-50% per 1 section, number of channels and their summary surface in each sections are variable parameters. Two middle sections are interconnected by corresponding transverse channels. EFFECT: improved quality of continuously cast ingots and reduced water consumption. 5 cl, 5 dwg, 3 tbl
