Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the continuous casting of metals, especially steel, by means of a continuous casting mold (1) which is mounted in an oscillating frame (3). Said oscillating frame can be driven so that it oscillates in the direction of casting (2), the course of the oscillation movement and/or the frequency being adjustable. The oscillating frame (3) is mounted with spring assemblies (4a, 4b; 5a, 5b) arranged symmetrically on both sides of the strand, for guiding and weight compensation. The device is used on a continuous casting mold (1) with a shaped casting cross-section (1a), which is mounted in the oscillating frame (3). The leaf-spring-mounted oscillating frame (3) can be operated with the continuous casting mold (1) in a resonance oscillation method in order to give the preliminary section a better surface.

Abstract: A continuous-casting mold has two parallel and spaced mold end plates having opposite ends and inner and outer faces and two parallel and spaced mold side plates extending generally perpendicular to the end plates, having inner and outer faces, and having opposite ends bearing on the respective side-plate ends. The inner faces form a generally rectangular mold passage having four corners. Respective rigid cooler plates bearing inward on the outer faces of the mold plates have ends at the corners. Respective clamps at the corners engage the cooler-plate ends, press the cooler plates inward on the mold plates, and thereby press the side-plate ends against the end-plate ends.
