A METHOD OF COOLING A CONTINUOUS CASTING BY SPRAYING FROM SPRAY NOZZLES AND GUIDING THE CASTING IN THE SECONDARY COOLING ZONE OF A CONTINUOUS CASTING MACHINE AND AN ARRANGEMENT FOR PERFORMING THE METHOD

摘要

In continuous casting, the cast strand which emerges from the casting mold is conducted through a secondary cooling zone wherein it is guided and supported between latticed guide plates having guide faces which contact areas of the surface of the casting which are supported thereby, and having windows therethrough bounded by said guide faces. The unsupported areas of the surface of the casting which are exposed by said windows are cooled by sprays of cooling water from spray nozzles located in the windows.
