SIDE WALL FOR INSTALLATION FOR CONTINUOUS CASTING OF METAL STRIPS

摘要

The invention concerns a side wall closing the casting space of an installation for continuous casting of thin metal strips between unwinding cooled walls, comprising a support plate (15), on the rear face (3) of which the thrust members exert their action, and an active face arranged against the front face of the support plate (15), whereof the lateral portions are designed to be worn by contact with said edges of said cooled walls over a maximum depth "e" and a length "l", the support plate (15) and the active part being urged in contact with each other in a way enabling them to be disengaged non-destructively. The invention is characterised in that the support plate front face has in its central part a recess (17) whereof the depth is greater than "e" and the outer edges (23, 23') of said front face have a general shape which matches that of the outer edges of the active part and have a length less than "l".
