Method and apparatus for vibrating a continuous casting mould for metals.

摘要

The invention relates to a method for the continuous casting of metals, of the type according to which ultrasound vibrations are applied to the wall (2) of the casting mould (1), characterised in that the said vibrations comprise, at the same time, a component oriented parallel and a component oriented perpendicularly to the axis of the casting mould. This method is implemented preferably by applying at least one ultrasound emitter (12) against a surface (11) integral with one of the ends of the casting mould (1) and presenting an angle of tilt relative to the axis of the latter. The invention applies principally to the continuous casting of steel products in all formats.
