ABSTRACT:
An improvement in wheel-band type continuous metal casting machines wherein a corner filling device or material is used in combination with the mold members such as the wheel and band to modify the mold geometry so as to prevent corner cracking due to the solidification stresses present in conventional mold shapes having sharp or square edges, especially useful in modifying the usual trapezoidal cross sections of prior art molds. Ablative, conductive, or insulating materials, selected in accordance with the desired change in solidification pattern, may be introduced into the mold either separate from, or attached to the moving mold members such as the endless band or the casting wheel.
