SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTINUOUS CASTING Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC B22D11/06 

FIELD: foundry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to continuous casting. Device (100) comprises two belts (112, 114) held each on two pulleys (116, 118, 120, 122). Area of mould (136) is formed by the first support section of mould (132) located behind the first belt, and the second supporting section (134) of the mould located behind the second belt. First support section of the mould supports the first belt and sets the shape of the first belt in the area of the mould, the second support section of the mould supports the second belt and sets the shape of the second belt in the area of the mould. At least one of the first and second support sections of the mould comprises transition section (138, 140) and, downstream, flat section (142). Transition section has a variable radius which enables to receive molten metal from the metal feed device. Flat section, in the gap between the first and the second support sections of the mould, contains a converging section of the mould.

EFFECT: improved quality of cast strip with thickness of less than 7 mm, including quality of surface, without damage to productivity, due to improved heat transfer along entire thickness of cast strip.
