  • Patent number: 7040379
    Abstract: A method, and the related implementation device, for the regulation of strip temperature in a continuous metallic strip casting plant, wherein such temperature regulation begins on the strip whilst under the casting equipment and at a certain distance from it, and then continues along the roll path. The device provides that the rolls on which the strip is transported are fitted with a cooling system.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 8, 2003
    Date of Patent: May 9, 2006
    Assignee: Danieli & C. Officine Meccaniche S,p.A.

  • Patent number: 6739382
    Abstract: With a device for a lateral containment of liquid steel between two crystallizing rolls of a casting machine for a steel strip, comprising a refractory skid (4) and a thrust unit (37) for the skid (4). there are provided at least 3 spaced steel plates (P1, Pi, Pi+1, . . . Pn) successively arranged between the skid (4) and a thrust unit (37) and interconnected by means of fixing elements (12) in a staggered arrangement to optimize the contact conditions between the containing plates and the side faces of the corresponding rolls and to ensure excellent uniform pressure distribution on these plates in sliding contact with the rolls allowing the plates to adapt well to the reference surface of the rolls or working conditions. Each fixing element (12) that connects the plate (Pi) to next plate (Pi+1) has associated thereto at least one pair of fixing elements (12) connecting the next plate (Pi+1) to the following next plate (PI+2).
