Abstract
In a mold apparatus for an endless track type continuous casting machine of the type in which a plurality of cooling blocks are interconnected with each other in the form of an endless chain to assemble a cooling block chain which can define a straight wall; a pair of said cooling block chains are disposed such that the straight wall thereof define a mold; and the cooling block chains are moved in synchronism with the casting speed or rate, a plurality of cooling holes are extended through each cooling block in the direction perpendicular to the direction of the movement thereof and in parallel with the straight wall section thereof; one or more cooling water pipes are disposed along one side surface of said straight wall section of each cooling block chain and are provided with a plurality of nozzles in line with the cooling holes of the cooling blocks so that the cooling water is injected through the nozzles to their corresponding cooling holes of the cooling blocks which are moving, thereby cooling the cooling blocks in contact with a casting with the cooling water. Therefore, the cooling blocks can be cooled very effectively; a satisfactory shell growth rate can be attained; and break-out or the like can be avoided even when the cooling block chains are stopped in case of emergency.
