Abstract
Abstract A continuous-casting mold in which the steel backing plates are fastened to the copper liner with studs welded to the liner. The welded construction enables a thinner-walled liner to be used and affords better resistance against heat distortion and thermal stresses. The studs may be welded directly to the liner or to stainless steel strips which in turn are welded to the liner.
