Definitions

  • the invention relates to a starting head for a Steel strip caster, one with a top lower part that can be inserted into the mold a sealing paint made of refractory material is covered and protrusions reaching into the mold space are provided.
  • US-A 3,262,161 is a start-up line known for slab formats, two in its head Rows of connecting bolts side by side are attached by anchor pins. On the surface the start-up line is a flexible, heat-resistant Painted considerably on the edges protrudes from the head and when inserted into the mold in a space on all sides is pressed in and seals it. The painting is through on the head of the start-up line held a metal plate. The between plate and The gap remaining in the mold walls is heat-resistant Material filled and can be with scrap covered on the walls.
  • the object of the invention is to create a Starting head for steel strip casting molds with one outside the mold quickly, easily and precisely secure seal to be attached, being without Using refrigerated scrap is a faster resilient Connection to cast tape formed becomes.
  • the steel strip casting mold with all-round Distance filling connecting element with upper projections while saving Sealing material and difficult manual work inside a narrow mold space without using Refrigerated scrap a quick and firm sprue connection to the first flowing liquid steel educated. It was surprisingly found that through the cold surfaces of the connector a stronger cooling effect is achieved than due to the low mass of the due to its air inclusion first of all isolating cooling scrap.
  • the connecting element with the matching flat gasket and steel plate to the casting format connected in one operation to the lower part one exact centering is guaranteed by the screws. Due to the steel plate, the seal is when inserted into the Mold held securely and protected when poured on. The connecting element leads to a through its large cooling volume rapid cooling and thus an immediately resilient connection between the start head and the cast belt. Another The advantage is that only the outermost edge of the seal comes into contact with the melt, so that a multiple use is possible.
  • Form in the illustrated steel strip casting mold two opposite broad side walls 1, 2 and two between parallel side areas of the Broad side walls 1, 2 arranged narrow side walls 3, 4 the molding space. For cooling, they are Broad side walls 1, 2 and the narrow side walls 3, 4 provided with channels 5.
  • the broad side walls 1, 2 form an extended pouring area in the middle 6 into which a pouring tube 7 projects.
  • transverse grooves 14 of the lower part 8 are screws 15 held with their heads by the corresponding gaskets provided with flat holes 11, steel plate 12 and connecting element 9 are clamped by means of nuts 16. The screws 15 are used to solve the lower part 8 of connecting element connected to the cast steel strip 9 sideways from the transverse grooves 14 driven out.
