Patent number: 7445036Abstract: A liquid-cooled permanent mold for a continuous casting installation having a shaping permanent mold body, for example, made of copper or copper alloy. Cooling channels are provided in permanent mold body that extend from its upper side to its lower side. The cooling channels each have two longitudinal sections and the cooling sections have an alignment of their longitudinal axes that differ from one another. In this way, the horizontal distance of the cooling channels from the casting surface is varied and a cooling performance is achieved that is adjusted to the weighting profile of the permanent mold.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2004Date of Patent: November 4, 2008Assignee: KM Europa Metal AGInventors: Dietmar Kolbeck, Hans-Günter Wobker, Gerhard Hugenschütt

Patent number: 7198092Abstract: A chill tube (1) having a double T-shaped inner and outer cross section in beam blank format is encased in a water-guiding jacket (12) adapted to its outer contour while forming a water gap (14). The wall thickness (D) of chill tube (1) in the rounded transition regions (2) from middle crosspieces (4), which face each other head to head and are drawn in towards longitudinal axis (3), to the neighboring crosswise positioned flanges (5) is dimensioned at least partially smaller than in the remaining wall sections (6, 7). The reduction in wall thickness is implemented by longitudinal hollow recesses (8). These recesses (8) extend only in the height range of the bath level. Into the cross sectional regions which are formed by the outer contour of chill tube (1) as well as the inner contour of water-guiding jacket (12), filler pieces (17) are incorporated, adapted to this cross section.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2004Date of Patent: April 3, 2007Assignee: KM Europa Metal AktiengesellschaftInventors: Roland Hauri, Raimund Eichholz-Boldt, Dietmar Kolbeck, Gerhard Hugenschütt
