Abstract
The invention concerns a mold for a continuous casting system with a shaping mold tube made of a material with high thermal conductivity. To reduce the rate of heat removal at the height of the meniscus that forms within the mold cavity, the exterior of the mold tube is provided with a plating of a material of lower thermal conductivity than that of the mold tube. This results in reduced heat flow with higher temperatures in the meniscus area and in improvement in the surface quality of the cast billet.
