Abstract
A continuous casting mold formed of a front wall, a spaced rear wall and side wall members extending between said walls to form an upwardly and downwardly opening, roughly rectangular in cross section casting cavity. The side wall members are moveable towards and away from each other to adjust the width of the casting cavity. The side walls members are formed of interior face plates having side edges which are perpendicular to and in face-to-face contact with their adjacent front and rear wall surfaces, and backing plates having side edges spaced a short distance away from the front and rear wall surfaces. Mounted upon the backing plate side edges are guide blocks, each having an exposed surface co-planar with the edge surface of its adjacent face plate edge for guiding and positioning the side wall members against tilting relative to the front and rear wall interior surfaces. Thus, the guide blocks prevent the side edge walls from turning out of full contact with, and thereby forming a flash-producing gap relative to the front end rear interior surfaces.
