Abstract
A device for continuous or semi-continuous casting of metal comprising a cooled mold ( ) and an induction coil ( ) arranged at the top end of the mold. The mold comprises in its top end a plurality of hollow, old segments ( ) separated from each other by partitions ( ), which all comprise an electrically insulating barrier. Both the mold segments and the partitions are oriented essentially in the casting direction. Each hollow top end mold segment comprises a core of a mechanically supporting bar or beam ( ) arranged within the hollow mold segment such that it is surrounded by the hollow mold segment. The core exhibits superior mechanical properties in relation to the mold.
