<p>An improved mold assembly (12) for a continuous casting machine includes a mold liner assembly (30) having an inner surface (32) defining a casting space (14) in which molten metal is shaped and cooled, an immersion nozzle (20), terminating within the casting space (14), for introducing molten metal into the casting space (14), and selective cooling structure (34) for selectively cooling the mold liner assembly (30) in such a manner that cooling is directed in varying intensities to different portions of the inner surface (32) of the mold liner assembly (30) according to predetermined circulation patterns (26) in the molten metal, whereby heat transfer inequality as a result of convection is accommodated over the entire inner surface of the mold liner assembly (30).</p> |
