CHILL CASTING METHOD AND APPARATUS

摘要

A series of chill mold sections each including a pair of opposed joinder faces each having a partial mold cavity defined therein are arranged to move in an endless path upon a conveyor device during casting. A teeming station and a mold emptying station are located at different points along the endless path of the mold sections and the conveyor device operatives to join together the joinder faces of adjacent molds to form a mold cavity therebetween during at least a part of the travel of the mold sections along the endless path including the teeming station with the mold sections being separated from each other by operation of the conveying device during another portion of the endless path including the emptying station.
