ADJUSTMENT OF HEAT TRANSFER IN CONTINUOUS CASTING MOULDS IN PARTICULAR IN THE REGION OF THE MENISCUS

摘要

The invention relates to a mould for the continuous casting of molten metals, in particular steel, comprising cooling channels (1), such as cooling grooves, cooling slits or cooling drillings in the side of the mould (2) away from the melt contact surface. According to the invention, the heat transfer in the mould can be improved, whereby the geometric arrangement of the heat transfer planar surfaces of a cooling channel (1) or a group of cooling channels is adjusted in form, cross-sectional area, circumference, boundary surface qualities, orientation with respect to contact surfaces, arrangement and/or arrangement density with respect to the contact surfaces for the local formation of thermal flux density and/or temperature of the contact surfaces (18) during casting operation and in particular in the region of the meniscus (11).
