Abstract: A mould plate includes a casting side and a rear side facing away from the casting side and having a cooling channel configured to open towards the rear side and having a cooling face opposite the casting side. An insert is arranged in the cooling channel to form a cooling gap between an inner face of the insert and the cooling face. A fastening bolt connects the insert to a fastening point in the cooling face, wherein the cooling gap extends, viewed from the fastening point towards the casting side, to an area below the fastening point.

Abstract: A mold plate has a casting side and a rear side remote from the casting side and includes a cooling channel which is open with respect to the rear side 3 and is arranged in the rear side. An insert is arranged in the cooling channel to reduce a flow cross-section of the cooling channel. The insert is fastened to the mold plate in a pivotally movable manner so that the insert can be pivoted from a closed position into an open position.

Abstract: A copper alloy for use as material for a casting mold or a casting mold component selected from the group consisting of mold plate, mold tube, casting wheel, casting drum, casting roller, and melting crucible. The copper alloy includes, in percent by weight (proportion by mass of the melt analysis in %): silver (Ag) 0.020-0.50, zirconium (Zr) 0.050-0.50, phosphorus (P) not more than 0.060, chromium (Cr) not more than 0.005, balance copper (Cu) and other alloying elements including unavoidable impurities, with a proportion of the other alloying elements being less than or equal to (?) 0.50.
