  • Apparatus for inspecting the taper of continuous casting molds
    Patent number: 4171719
    Abstract: An individually adjustable wall plate of a mold for continuously casting is connected to a transducer in the rear to indicate the effective tilt angle. A one transducer system includes two transducer elements being supported in different vertical levels; a two transducer system includes vertically spaced, displaceable transducer elements and stationary reference elements.

  • Method of ascertaining the effectiveness of cooling rollers in continuous casting machines
    Patent number: 4149580
    Abstract: Effectiveness of internal cooling of the rollers in a withdrawal path for continuously cast ingots is determined by measuring the drop in surface temperature of the ingot when in engagement with the rollers. For this, a thermo element is affixed to the ingot's surface and its output is recorded or otherwise processed.

  • Method and apparatus for monitoring and obviating deformations of continuous castings
    Patent number: 4030531
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for monitoring and obviating deformation of the shell of continuous castings. Reference pick ups are used to measure from a reference line the bulging of the casting shell between adjacent guiding rollers and to measure the instantaneous distance of the guide rollers from the reference line. The differential between these measurements is determined and in accordance therewith the casting travel speel and/or quantity of coolant is regulated to avoid undesired bulging.

  • Curved roller track for continuously cast ingots
    Patent number: 4022369
    Abstract: An ingot is guided and supported, after exiting from the mold, along a curved path, in which smaller, closer spaced and more numerous rollers are arranged on the inside - upper side of the track path than on the underside - outside thereof. The track is segmented, each segment holding the same number of rollers for inside and outside track portion, but the inside track is supplemented by inbetween- segment rollers.

  • Method of starting continuous casting
    Patent number: 4009748
    Abstract: The mold for continuous casting is prepared by lining the wall with glass either by pasting a glass fiber mesh thereon or by coating it with a mixture of glass powder and adhesive.

  • Mold for continuous casting of slab ingots
    Patent number: 3930534
    Abstract: A mold for continuous casting of slab ingots is constructed to have wide sides which extend lower than the narrow sides leaving gaps below the bottom edges of the narrow mold sides in which rolls are placed for engaging the emerging narrow side of the ingot held in the same level still by the wide sides of the mold. The force exerted by these rolls upon the ingot is related to the thickness thereof.
