  • the processing is with conventional methods can be carried out even for tubular bodies that are suitable for the Production of mold tubes with a small inner diameter are suitable and because of their geometrical dimensions not or only very much lavishly processed on the inside.
  • the heat-insulating layer ensures the area of the first Longitudinal section for an increase in temperature on the inside of the Mold tube.
  • the fact that the distance of the heat insulating layer from the inner surface of the mold tube at least 25% of the wall thickness of the mold tube is the wear of the mold tube during Casting operation due to the thermal and mechanical Reduced material stress in the area of the first longitudinal section, compared to a mold tube with a heat insulating layer Equipped with the same thickness on the inside of the mold tube.
  • the mold tube according to the invention it is possible to use suitable Dimensioning the thickness profile of the heat insulating layer Temperature distribution, which is found on the inner surface of the Mold tube sets, defined to adjust the growth of a To influence the strand shell in the area of the first longitudinal section in a targeted manner.
  • This degree of freedom is used in the mold according to the invention in order to to optimize them with regard to the production of peritectic steel strands.
  • the temperature on the inside during casting operation Surface of the mold tube in the area of the first longitudinal section be as high as possible.
  • the thickness of the heat-insulating layer is therefore dimensioned such that the temperature on the inside of the mold tube in the casting operation does not exceed a predetermined critical temperature T K.
  • the outer surface of the mold tube at the boundary between the Longitudinal sections are stepless.
  • This embodiment is special suitable for use in molds with water jacket cooling on the Outside of the mold tube. Because with such molds the water jacket is usually only a few mm thick and its thickness along the mold tube must be precisely controlled, enables a continuous training of the A particularly simple transition between the two longitudinal sections Construction of the water jacket cooling.
  • heat-insulating layer in a tubular body made of metal or Metal alloy is embedded.
