Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a system, apparatus, and method for a cooling water spray pattern for a direct chill casting mold, and more particularly, to a spiral water spray pattern for a direct chill billet casting mold. An example direct chill casting mold includes a mold body defining a mold cavity there through; and a plurality of spray jets arranged proximate an exit of the mold cavity, wherein the plurality of spray jets are angled with respect to the mold cavity such that streams of fluid exiting the plurality of spray jets impinge upon a casting exiting the mold cavity at an angle offset from a centerline of the casting.
