Device for lateral containment of liquid steel between crystallizing rolls of a casting machine for a steel strip

摘要

With a device for a lateral containment of liquid steel between two crystalizing rolls of a casting machine for a stell strip, comprising a refractory skid 4 and a thrust unit 37 for the skid 4, there are provided at least 3 spaced steel plates P1, Pi, Pi+1,...Pn successively arranged between the skid 4 and a thrust unit 37 and interconnected by means of fixing elements 12 in a staggered arrangement to optimise the contact conditions between the containing plates and the side faces of the corresponding rolls and to ensure excellent uniform pressure distribution on these plates in sliding contact with the rolls allowing the plates to adapt well to the reference surface of the rolls or working conditions. Each fixing element 12 that connects the plate Pi to next plate Pi+1 has associated thereto at least one pair of fixing elements 12 connecting the next plate Pi+1 to the following next plate Pi+2. <IMAGE>
