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

An oscillating device for continuous casting molds () for casting molten metal particularly, molten steel material includes a plurality of springs () or spring assemblies () extending between a stationary mold frame () and connection or fixing points () for supporting a continuous casting mold () and are set in control oscillations such as, e.g., resonance oscillations by drive pairs, wherein by using of springs (), spring assemblies () or spring bundles () formed of fiber composites (), damaging corrosion by chemicals during continuous casting is prevented.
