  • Method to produce high frequency stop-and-go movement in continuous cast rod
    Patent number: 5522451
    Abstract: A cast rod is swung from side to side to generate movement at the solidifying end of the rod. The drawing rolls operate simultaneously with steady (adjustable) speed. The swinging of the rod is generated between the upper end of the die cooler and the drawing rolls with e.g. a runner which is connected to an eccentric disk rotated by an electric motor. The amplitude and the frequency of the swinging and the speed of the drawing rolls can be varied and thus be used to achieve different movement forms in casting.
