摘要 |
The invention envisages a plant for continuously casting hot liquid metals comprising an intermediate supply vessel having a substantially horizontal outlet duct, a water-cooled mould arranged with play substantially in alignment with said outlet duct, a cooling passage including guide means for continuous cast stock following said mould, and reshaping means for further processing said cast stock, in which the mould is arranged to be rotatable around its longitudinal axis and connected to a rocking drive for oscillatory movement of said mould in peripheral direction relative to said supply vessel, said play between said mould and said supply vessel being sealed by a covering ring having inlet means for introduction of a lubricating and sealing agent. By adoption of the new arrangement according to the invention it is possible to reduce the construction height of continuous casting bays, thereby eliminating any risks of accidents involved in the previous cascade arrangement.
