ABSTRACT:
The use of hot tops on ingot and similar molds in which steel, steel alloys and other molten metal are teemed and cooled to a solid state is avoided and the use of topping compounds in such operations eliminated or substantially reduced by the provision of a removable and reusable cover covering the top of the mold cavity wherein the cover comprises elements combined into a single unit arranged to be set atop the mold and completely cover the metal, at least one of said elements having a heat-reflecting surface over the undersurface thereof for reflecting heat downwardly onto the metal in the mold to retard the cooling of the metal while the space or spaces between the elements provide insulation. At least the lowermost reflective element in the assembly may slope downwardly and inwardly toward the center of the cover, that is, they diverge upwardly from a central area toward the side walls so that radiant heat will be deflected downwardly and outwardly to retard cooling of the metal near the top from the sides toward the center.
