Abstract: An arrangement for maintaining the warmth of slabs which exit from a continuous casting installation and which can be transported on a roller table for further processing. In order to optimize the thermal balance between the continuous casting installation and the hot rolling mill, a supporting part is provided for receiving a slab, which supporting part can be placed on the roller table and transported thereon, and an insulating box which can be placed upon the supporting part and which substantially encloses the latter.

Abstract: The invention is directed to an arrangement for maintaining the warmth of slabs (3) which exit from a continuous casting installation and which can be transported on a roller table (1) for further processing. In order to optimize the thermal balance between the continuous casting installation and the hot rolling mill, it is proposed to provide a supporting part (2) for receiving a slab (3), which supporting part (2) can be placed on the roller table (1) and transported thereon, and an insulating box (4) which can be placed upon the supporting part (2) and which substantially encloses the latter.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for cooling the copper plates (1.1) of a continuous casting ingot mould (1) for liquid metals, especially liquid steel, comprising an ingot mould coolant (2) which is guided in cooling channels.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for optimizing the cooling capacity of a continuous casting mold (1) for liquid metals, particularly for liquid steel, by homogenizing the thermal load (22) above the height of the continuous casting mold (1). According to the method, the cooling medium (5) is guided through a cross-sectional area of a large number of cooling medium channels (3) or cooling medium boreholes (4) running approximately parallel to the cast billet (9). The cooling medium cross-sectional areas between the mold entry (6) and the mold exit (7) are configured differently.
