Abstract

1,096,258. Continuous casting-machines. SWISS ALUMINIUM Ltd. June 13, 1966 [June 23, 1965; Sept. 9, 1965], No. 26175/66. Heading B3F. In the continuous casting of non-ferrous metals e.g. aluminium and aluminium base alloys, a tundish 13 containing the molten metal and a float 25 that controls the flow of metal from the nozzles 24 of the tundish 13 can be held in a first upper position during the starting of the casting operation and then, just after the starting bar 20 has started to move down on a piston 21, the nozzles and float can be lowered by mechanical devices 15 so that the meniscus of the metal is brought nearer the bottom of the mould 17 to improve the rate of cooling of the strand emerging from the mould. The float is adjustable by members 28, 29, 30 relative to the nozzles 24 and in a modification the nozzles and float may be moved relative to the mould by hydraulic rams (Figs. 12-14, not shown) and in a further modification the mould is moved relative to the nozzles and float by hydraulic rams (Figs. 15-17, not shown). The mould 17 includes long sides that have cooling water passed therein from both ends and forced out through holes of varying size to impinge on the side of the strand to control the cooling thereof. The short sides 16 of the mould are cooled by a spray from a tube 48 that also sprays direct on the strand.
