Abstract: A mold wall of a continuous casting mold includes an inner mold plate and a water box connected to the inner mold plate through screw connections, wherein the inner mold plate has on its side facing the water box webs with grooves extending between the webs, and wherein filler pieces are arranged in the grooves. The filler pieces each have at least one expanding element for producing a frictionally engaging connection of the filler pieces to the inner mold plate. The screw connections are arranged between the water box and the filler pieces.

Abstract: In a method for manufacturing a sidewall member of a continuous casting mold from a copper blank, wherein the sidewall member has an upper and a lower edge and a curved widened area beginning at the upper edge and tapering in a direction to the lower edge and to the sides of the sidewall member, the copper blank is hot-forged via several intermediate shapes to a rectangular plate with an initial wedge shape. The rectangular plate is then further formed by final hot-forging in a longitudinal direction of the rectangular plate with a straight saddle, having a width that is only a portion of a width of the rectangular plate measured relative to the longitudinal direction of the rectangular plate, and the curved widened area is pre-forged. Subsequently, the rectangular plate is quenched and work-hardened. The rectangular plate is then cold-hammered via a wedge-shaped bottom saddle for work-hardening a middle portion of the rectangular plate and for producing a final wedge shape of the rectangular plate.

Abstract: A mold wall of a continuous casting mold is composed of an inner mold plate and a water box connected to the inner mold plate through screw connections, wherein the inner mold plate has on its side facing the water box webs with grooves extending between the webs, and wherein the grooves have a groove width and filler pieces are arranged in the grooves. The grooves of the mold plate have undercuts with an undercut thickness, the filler pieces have connecting elements with a connecting element thickness, the filler pieces engage releasably in the undercuts, and the screw connections are arranged between the filler pieces and the water box.

Abstract: A broad side element for slab mold and including a cast plate having opposite inner and outer surfaces and a plurality of grooves provided on the inner surface for forming cooling channels and having each an undercut, and a plurality of inserts receivable in the undercuts of respective cooling channel-forming grooves for formlockingly covering the respective grooves, with the broad side element having upper and lower regions, and with at least the upper region having a middle portion and two side portions located on opposite sides of the middle portion.
