Extrusion die
A continuous casting mold includes mold plates which enclose the casting cross section and in which cooling channels extend. The mold plates are connectable to a water box by screw elements which are formed by fastening bolts having a threaded shank which is screwable into fastening threads located in the mold plate. To achieve a uniform cooling in a continuous casting mold, the fastening threads are arranged such that their center longitudinal axes extend between two adjacent coolant channels of the plurality of cooling channels. The diameter of each threaded bore hole of the fastening threads is greater than the distance between the two adjacent cooling channels, and each bore hole of the fastening threads ends at a distance from the floor of the plurality of cooling channels to define the screw-in depth of the fastening bolts.
1. A continuous casting mold, comprising:
a mold plate which encloses a casting cross section and in which a plurality of cooling channels extend, the mold plate being connectable to a water box by screw elements formed from fastening bolts having a threaded shank which is screwable into first fastening threads located in said mold plate;
wherein the first fastening threads are arranged such that their center longitudinal axes extend between two adjacent coolant channels of said plural cooling channels, a diameter of each threaded bore hole of the first fastening threads is greater than a distance between the two adjacent cooling channels such that the threaded bore hole extends through the two adjacent coolant channels of said plural cooling channels, and each threaded bore hole of the first fastening threads ends at a distance spaced apart from a floor of the plural cooling channels so as to define a screw-in depth of the fastening bolts.
2. The continuous casting mold according to claim 1 , wherein a diameter of the first fastening threads is greater than a diameter of second fastening threads arranged in a solid material portion of the mold plate so that the first and second fastening threads have a same supporting surface.
3. The continuous casting mold according to claim 1 , wherein a channel cross section of the cooling channels is reduced at least one of above, below and at sides of the first fastening threads by filler pieces to ensure a uniform flow in each of said plural cooling channels and to achieve higher flow rates.
4. The continuous casting mold according to claim 2 , wherein a channel cross section of the cooling channels is reduced at least one of above, below and at sides of the first fastening threads by filler pieces to ensure a uniform flow in each of said plural cooling channels and to achieve higher flow rates.
