Casting procedure of cast alloys Continuous casting - casting of continuous cast ingots The melt is transported through the system of launders to the distribution groove, where the moulds for continuous casting can be found. The set includes three moulds with eight castings per each mould, which enables the casting of 24 continuous cast ingots at once. Moulds are cooled down with cooling water from a closed cooling system. The continuous cast ingots are sawn to precisely determined lengths. They are piled with an automatic forklift and bonded into a compact band. Mould cast - casting of mould cast ingots The melt is transported through the system of launders to the casting machine for mould cast ingots, where individual moulds are being filled with a casting wheel on an endless casting belt. These moulds are cooled down with cooling water from a closed cooling water system. Behind the casting machine is an integrated air refrigerator in which the mould cast ingots are cooled to ambient temperature. Mould cast ingots are piled with an automatic forklift and bonded into a compact band.
