Casting mold for continuous casting of metal with a pouring area having cooled wide sidewalls and narrow sidewalls and tapering in a funnel shape

摘要

A casting mold for continuously casting metal has a pouring area having cooled wide sidewalls and cooled narrow sidewalls. The pouring area tapers in a funnel shape in horizons arranged underneath each other in a casting direction to a format of a strand to be cast, wherein the wide sidewalls are sidewall plates having curved contour areas. At least within one height portion of the casting mold the curved contour areas are asymmetrical relative to a line intercepting center points of the narrow sidewalls.
