Working Process:
The mould assembly is the key part of the continuous casting machine.
The billet and rectangular billet mould assembly is mainly composed by the following parts: mould copper tube, outer water jacket, diversion water jacket, upper and lower sealing flflanges, various sealing rings, foot roller device, foot roller area spray Device.
The core part is the mould copper tube, and other parts are assembled around the copper tube.
The mould assembly should have the following characteristics: simple structure, easy to disassemble and adjust, easy to produce and manufacture with good structural rigidity, and its weight should be light, so that it has a small inertial force when it vibrates during vibration. The mould assembly is a key part of the continuous casting machine, and its structural performance directly affffects the production and quality of the continuous casting billet. All enterprises are actively exploring according to the actual use of their continuous casting machines, and by optimizing the combination of the parts and components of the mould assembly, to meet the ever-increasing demand for continuous casting production.
Square billet and rectangular billet assemblies are generally reserved for installation of electromagnetic stirring devices and automatic liquid level control devices.
The round billet mould assembly is mainly composed of the following parts: mould copper tube, outer water jacket, diversion water jacket, upper and lower sealing flanges, various sealing rings, foot roller device, and foot roller area spray.
Similar to the square billet and the rectangular billet, the core component of the round billet mould assembly is the mold copper tube, and other components are assembled around the copper tube.
The key to the assembly of the round billet mould assembly is to prevent the copper tube from rotating and to ensure that the copper tube is positioned correctly along the inner and outer arc directions. The mould assembly should be subjected to a
hydraulic penetration test, the test pressure is 1.2-1.5 times the working pressure, and it should be kept for 30 minutes without leakage.

Copper Mould Tubes are the most essential part of a Continuous Casting Machine. These help in solidifying Liquid Metal in Continuous Casting Machine for producing Steel Billets. Copper Mould Tube are situated in the heart of continuous casting machine. Mould requires extreme high thermal-conductivity and high strength. The molten steel will be formed into a certain shaped steel billets immediately after it passes through the copper tube.
Copper Mould Tube Material:
At present, Deoxidized phosphorus copper (TP2), Silver-bearing copper (CuAg0.1) and Cu-Cr-Zr are normally selected as the material to produce copper mould tubes.
TP2/Cu-DHP
This kind of material is selected by most of the steel plants. It shows excellent heat-proof and anti-fatigue property under high temperature and it has good
processing property
CuAg
Adding 0.08%-0.12% silver during copper ingots melting will increase the re-crystallization temperature of copper by 100 ºC, which will increase the heat stress and anti-abrasive property of copper mould tube interior surface, showing better heat- resistant property than Tp2.
Cu-Cr-Zr
Cu-Cr-Zr is a kind of copper alloys which can be normalized by time. It has excellent mechanical property under both room temperature and high temperature. It has high heat conductivity, melting point, anti-fatigue and anti-heat stress properties. These outstanding features make it difffferent from the previous copper alloys. It combines all good properties together. But compared with other copper alloys, Cu-Cr-Zr is difficult to be formed with higher products costs.
