Abstract: There is provided a method of continuous casting two or more long products using a single continuous twin casting strand (CCM) comprising two sub-strands. The process control of the method is automatic and comprises master/slave logic. wherein one sub-strand of the twin casting strand is a master sub-strand and remaining sub-strand(s) are slave sub-strand(s). The master strand has non-controlled metal flow and liquid metal level in the master sub-strand is regulated by adjusting casting speed. The liquid metal level in said slave strand(s) is regulated by adjusting the liquid metal pouring rate.

Abstract: Apparatus for continuous casting comprising a support structure provided with a containing casing configured to support inside it a mold equipped with a plurality of longitudinal passage channels for the passage of a cooling liquid. The containing casing and the mold together define an introduction chamber and a discharge chamber for the cooling liquid, and the introduction chamber and the discharge chamber are fluidically connected by the passage channels. The mold comprises a first tubular element and a second tubular element disposed inside the first tubular element. The second tubular element comprises a plurality of plates each provided with passage channels and connected to each other to define a through casting cavity. The first tubular element is provided with connection members to connect the passage channels of the plates respectively with the introduction chamber and with the discharge chamber.

Abstract: Apparatus for continuous casting comprising a support frame and a plurality of plates coupled to each other to define a tubular element provided with a casting cavity. Positioning members are provided to connect the plates to the support frame. The positioning members comprise attachment devices suitable to connect at least a first plate to a wall of the support frame, and thrust devices configured to compress the other plates with respect to each other, in correspondence with respective connection edges and against the at least one first plate.
