The invention relates to a permanent mold plate having a plurality of fastening points (3) on the rear side (2) thereof for fastening purposes, and cooling ducts (5) which are adjacent to the fastening points (3) and are in the form of depressions that are located within the rear side (2) and are open towards the rear side (2). From the perspective of a fastening point (3) towards the casting side (4) of the mold plate (1) opposite the rear side (2), at least one cooling duct (5) extends all the way to a point located below the fastening point (3).

Crystallizer for continuous casting comprising a tubular body (11) having at least one wall (12) which defines a through longitudinal casting cavity (13) and a plurality of longitudinal grooves (14) made at least on one part of the wall (12) and open toward the outside thereof. A covering binding (15) is associated to the external surface of the wall (12) to close the longitudinal groves (14) and thus obtain corresponding cooling channels (17) configured to make a cooling liquid flow inside them.

A mold plate has a casting side and a rear side remote from the casting side and includes a cooling channel which is open with respect to the rear side 3 and is arranged in the rear side. An insert is arranged in the cooling channel to reduce a flow cross-section of the cooling channel. The insert is fastened to the mold plate in a pivotally movable manner so that the insert can be pivoted from a closed position into an open position.

A crystallizer for continuous casting including a tubular body formed of a first and a second tubular element both monolithic each made in one single piece in a metal alloy and mounted coaxial, the first inside the second with radial play, one of the first and second tubular element being provided with one or more grooves opened towards the other tubular element; the first and second tubular element are mechanically coupled together, by plastic deformation by means of drawing between a die and a mandrel appropriately shaped, in such a manner to eliminate the radial play, so that the tubular body is monolithic and the grooves are radially closed, forming conduits in the tubular body configured to serve as cooling conduits and/or housing reinforcement bars.

The present invention relates to a method, system, and apparatus for improving the efficiency of a continuous casting operation. A continuous casting mold component described herein includes: a mold wall substrate defining a groove proximate a bottom of the mold wall substrate; a graphite liner having a bottom edge defining a first angled surface and a top edge defining a second angled surface, where the bottom edge is received into the groove of the mold wall substrate; and a clamping element defining an angled clamping surface attached to the mold wall substrate with at least one fastener, where the bottom angled surface of the graphite liner is driven into the groove defined in the substrate in response to the angled clamping surface of the clamping element engaging the second angled surface of the graphite liner and the fastener pressing the clamping element toward the mold wall substrate.

Disclosed is a permanent mold plate comprising a plurality of fastening points (3) on the rear side (2) thereof for fastening purposes, and cooling ducts (5) which are adjacent to the fastening points (3) and are in the form of depressions that are located within the rear side (2) and are open towards the rear side (2). From the perspective of a fastening point (3) towards the casting side (4) of the mold plate (1) opposite the rear side (2), at least one cooling duct (5) extends all the way to a point located below the fastening point (3).

Provided herein is a system, apparatus, and method for continuous casting of metal, and more particularly, to a mechanism for controlling the shape of a direct chill casting mold to dynamically control a profile of an ingot cast from the mold during the casting process. Embodiments may provide an apparatus for casting material including: first and second opposing side walls; first and second end walls extending between the first and second side walls, where the first and second opposing side walls and the first and second opposing end walls form a generally rectangular shaped mold cavity. At least one of the first and second opposing side walls may include two or more contact regions, where each of the two or more contact regions may be configured to be displaced relative to a straight line along the side wall.

A method for manufacturing a continuous casting mold in which cracking and spalling are less likely to occur in a filling laminate. The method includes filling a plurality of concave portions formed on an inner surface of a copper-made mold copper plate or a copper alloy-made mold copper plate used for continuously casting steel at least in a region including a meniscus position of molten steel in a casting process with a metal having a thermal conductivity different from that of the mold copper plate.
