A crystallizer copper plate and a continuous casting crystallizer. The crystallizer copper plate is provided with a metal continuous casting die surface and a rear-side cooling fixed surface. The fixed surface is provided with fixing screw holes in a vertical column connected to a fixed water tank or an adapter backplate and mesas forming the surrounding of the screw holes. Reinforced bars are connected between multiple mesas of each column. Cooling channels lower than the fixed surface are provided between any two adjacent two columns of fixing screw holes. Flow-diverting cooling bars are provided at the middle of meniscus regions of the cooling channels. Either the top end or the bottom end of the flow-diverting cooling bar is a cone used for altering the direction of movement of a cooling medium.

Provided herein are an apparatus and method for continuous casting of metal, and more particularly, to an apparatus and method to reduce macrosegregation through a mechanism for controlling the position of a spout tip or diffuser during the casting process to maintain the spout tip or diffuser near the solidification front, location of transition between liquid metal and solid metal in the cast part. An apparatus may include: a mold frame supporting a mold defining a mold cavity; a liquid diffuser; and an actuator configured to move at least one of the mold frame and the liquid diffuser relative to one another, wherein the actuator is configured to move at least one of the mold frame and the liquid diffuser relative to one another in response to a signal from at least one sensor.

A roll mantle or roll body configured to be mounted on a shaft of a roll line of a continuous casting apparatus, the roll mantle or roll body being formed by casting and having at least one internal channel. The roll mantle or roll body has a first end region, a second end region and a central region in between the first end region, and the second end region extends along at least 50% of the length of the roll mantle or roll body. The at least one internal channel may be located in the central region and may include a feature such as a pattern or projection.

A high-efficiency and short-process method for preparing a high-strength and high-conductivity copper alloy is disclosed, comprising the following steps: performing horizontal continuous casting to obtain an as-cast primary billet of copper alloy, wherein the alloying elements in the obtained as-cast primary billet being in a supersaturated solid solution state; after peeling the obtained as-cast primary billet, directly performing continuous extrusion, cold working and aging annealing treatment to obtain a copper alloy, and keeping the alloying elements of the billet in a supersaturated solid solution state during the process of continuous extrusion. The method shortens the flow, reduces energy consumption and improves the product forming rate.
