DUMMY BAR HEAD FOR THE CONTINUOUS CASTING OF CROSS-SECTIONS OF DIFFERENT WIDTHS IN CONTINUOUS CASTING PLANT

摘要

A dummy bar head for use in continuous casting machines which is adjustable to castings of different widths comprises a coupling member and an intermediate member which links the coupling member to the dummy bar. The coupling member includes at least one end member which is adjustable thereon. The coupling member is provided with an elongated groove of hook-shaped profile to receive molten metal. The end member which is adjustable thereon is also provided with a corresponding hook-shaped profile so that as the end member is adjusted with respect to the coupling member the effective length of the groove is altered correspondingly.
