A continuous casting apparatus of a horizontal type is designed for simultaneous casting of a plurality of parallel strands from molten metal discharged from a common tundish. Each strand unit comprises a mold and a refractory conduit which are in contact with each other and in direct association with a clamping mechanism provided with means for adjusting the clamping pressure applied to said mold and conduit to enable closeness of contact therebetween. In combination with a cylinder mechanism intended for clamping conduits to a tundish, said clamping mechanisms provide for a fluid tight connection therebetween at the place of junction thereof.

Horizontal continuous casting apparatus

A continuous casting apparatus comprises a mold and a tundish connected to each other by means of a refractory conduit capable of withstanding several cycles of casting operations. Used on the continuous-casting apparatus is a dummy bar assembly whose head is bevelled on both sides thereof adjoining the mold wall. The bevelled portions of the dummy-bar head and the mold wall define a gap expanding in the direction of the withdrawal of the ingot. A sealing material, such as asbestos string, is placed in the gap and tamped therein by a special means.
