Abstract
A continuous mold for a continuous casting plant comprises inner walls made from copper and/or an alloy of copper and a wear resistant and abrasion resistant layer disposed on the copper and/or copper alloy on the inner exposed side of the mold. The layer covers at most two fifths of the total surface of a side wall and reaches from the output end of the mold up to about one third of the length of the mold at the center of the respect side of the mold. The wear resistant layer reaches in the area of the inner edges of the mold from the output end of the continuous mold to at least about the same level as the layer at the center of the respective side wall and up to the input end of the mold. The wear resistant layer can be provided as an open net like a grid or as a grate on the inner wall of the continuous mold with the surface areas in the open parts in between being formed by copper and/or a copper alloy. The geometrical construction of the wear resistant layer allows to employ wear resistant layers of substantial thickness without interfering with the heat transfer to the mold.
