<p>A method for ingot casting using a vertical, open-ended mold removably positioned on a mold stool, a closed-bottom mold or a plug-bottom mold wherein steel particles are used to fill a relieved portion of the bottom typically resulting from erosion thereof during casting; a metal plate is used to close this relieved portion, thereby preventing comingling of the steel particles and metal being cast; this practice prolongs the life of mold stools and mold bottoms without requiring expensive replacement.</p> |
