SMALL FLAT IN A DEVICE FOR CONTINUOUS CASTING OF MOLTEN METALS BETWEENROLLS

摘要

According to the invention, the side dam comprises a layer in contact with the molten metal, consisting of a refractory material of fibrous structure and composed principally of alumina and silica, a second layer being provided behind, made from compact refractory. The fibrous layer ensures thermal insulation and the compact layer acts as safety plate. …The invention permits the production of side dams which are capable both of durably ensuring molten-metal leaktightness and of preventing untimely solidifications of this metal in contact therewith. …The invention applies preferably to continuous casting between rolls of hard metals with a high melting temperature, such as iron and its alloys.
