A continuous casting mold for the continuous casting of a metal strand, particularly a steel strand, comprising mutually opposing wide side walls and mutually opposing narrow side walls which are disposed in a clamped manner between the wide side walls and can be displaced along the wide side walls transversely to the casting direction and taper in a wedge-shaped manner in the casting direction, wherein the wide side walls comprise a funnel-shaped pouring region extending in the casting direction to the mold end, and wherein the narrow side walls are disposed in an exchangeable manner according to the thickness to be set for the metal strand to be cast, and wherein the positions of the narrow sides can be set by means of a narrow side adjustment system () having an upper and an lower adjustment device () in relation to the center line () of the metal strand to be cast, characterized in that the narrow side adjustment system () comprises at least one control element (), which acts on the adjustment devices () at least substantially transversely to the center line, and an alignment device for aligning the positions of the upper and lower control devices in relation to a specified reference position which are set by the at least one control element ().

Continuous casting mold

The invention relates to a wall () of a casting die for casting a molten metal. Die walls comprising a front plate () with a pocket borehole () and a rear plate () with a transversal borehole () aligned with the pocket borehole, on the cold side of the die front plate, are known in prior art. The aim of the invention is prevent the entrance of cooling liquid from the transition region (), between the front plate () and the rear plate (), into the pocket borehole () or the transversal borehole (). To this end, a sealing element () having a longitudinal borehole is arranged in the transition region () in such a way that the longitudinal borehole of the sealing element is at least approximately aligned with the transversal borehole () in the rear plate of the die and the pocket borehole () in the front plate of the die.

A broadside () for the broadside of a funnel mold for the casting of metal. Known broadsides of this kind have at least one groove-shaped cooling channel () in the backside (R) of the broadside. Adjacent the cooling channel () on the backside of the broadside, recesses (A, . . . , A) are provided as well as filler elements (-, . . . , -) for the at least partial sealing of the recesses. In order to constructively simplify the broadside in view of the adjustment of a generally constant flow rate of a cooling medium through the cooling channel, it is proposed to design the recesses (A, . . . , A) in such a way, that they cross the cooling channel () diagonally to its longitudinal direction. Moreover, the recesses (A, . . . , A) are in their expansion in longitudinal direction of the cooling channel confined to a section of the cooling channel, and in this direction they have a rectangular-shaped and/or wedge-shaped cross-section, so that the depth of the cooling channel () in the broadside () in the area of the crossing recesses (A, . . . , A) changes step-like and/or linearly and is filled with corresponding filler elements.

The invention relates to a device for supporting and oscillating a continuous casting mold () for continuously casting molten metals, particularly molten metal materials, comprising: guide elements () symmetrically arranged on both sides of the central longitudinal axis () of the casting; fixed supporting parts (), and; a continuous casting mold () supported on paired oscillating devices (). The inventive device facilitates the accessibility to individual modules for maintaining and/or eliminating damages. To this end, a module () that, itself, can be removed, is formed from paired bearing blocks () with guide elements () and with a supporting casing () connected to said bearing blocks. The module is placed upon a stationary submodule () and detachably connected thereto.

A device for the support and oscillation of a continuous casting mould () for casting liquid metal, particularly liquid steel, comprising guide elements () which are mounted on fixed carrier components () and which is actually by means of oscillation devices (). In order to shorten time required for mounting and dismounting and therefor to lower the down times and costs of said continuous casting device, a first module () is made of guide elements () and carrier components () and a second module () consists of the oscillation device (). The second module () can be dismantled via an outlet () which extends laterally, perpendicular to the plane of symmetry () below the guide elements () or in between guide elements (). Each of the two modules () can be dismounted or re-mounted in a manner which is temporally and locally independent from the other respective module ().
