ABSTRACT:
An improved, more economical mold for use in continuously casting metals or alloys comprises a mold tube and a pair of flanges, one flange peripherally disposed of and in abutting, liquid sealing relation with each end of the tube. Such sealing relation is preferably provided by a continuous knife-edged protrusion formed in and disposed peripherally of each flange and adapted to sealingly cooperate with a continuous shallow groove formed in and disposed peripherally of each end of the tube. Cooling means including a jacket and a baffle surround the tube between the flanges, and the baffle further defines a channel immediately circumjacent a substantial portion of the outer surface of the tube for directing a flow of cooling liquid about the tube in direct contact with such surface. Removable assembly means releasably interconnect the two flanges and the baffle disposed therebetween in such a way as to clamp each of the flanges to its respective end of the mold tube, thus effecting both liquid-tight seals as well as creating a unitary assembly. Accordingly, an efficient method for repairing the mold via quick dissassembly, tube replacement and quick reassembly is also provided.
