Abstract
Abstract A device is disclosed which includes two similar sections of water-cooled tie bars intended for holding an ingot being withdrawn from a mould and sprays for supplying ingot cooling medium located between the tie bars. With the device in operation the sections turn in opposite directions through an angle corresponding to a spacing between the tie bars which permits the supplying of the cooling medium onto the entire side surface of the ingot ensuring thereby uniform cooling of the ingot.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
167 words
A device for the secondary cooling of a round-shaped ingot during continuous casting of metals in a continuous casting plant and having at least one pair of sections with each of the said section comprising: a supporting frame rigidly bolted to the body of said continuous casting plant; a radial thrust bearing set up on said supporting frame; a ferrule arranged on said radial thrust bearing and coupled with the aid of a rigid joint with a movable bearing race; cooled tie bars rigidly fixed in said ferrule, uniformly distributed around the ingot and intended to hold it, and sprays fixed in said ferrule for supplying ingot cooling medium; drive means for simultaneously turning said pair of sections in opposite directions about a vertical axis through an angle corresponding to a spacing between said tie bars, thus providing a uniform supply of the cooling medium onto the entire side surface of the moving ingot, thereby ensuring efficient and uniform cooling of the ingot and higher casting rates.
