Continuous-casting mould with a hot top

摘要

The ingot mold, for a continuous casting assembly, has a hot head (1) on the upper side of a barrier distributor (2), held and centered by an outer ring (4) in a release mounting at the ingot mold (3). The mold is surrounded by a metal or ceramic function ring (5), to the mold running surface, forming function surfaces with adjustable roughness together with the barrier distributor. The barrier distributor has radial channels at the upper and lower sides, with channel cross sections in a ratio of 1:3 to 1:5 between the upper and lower sides.
