Graphite mould for continuous casting and semi-continuous casting of non-ferrous metals

In recent years, advanced production methods such as direct continuous (or semi-continuous) fabrication of rods or pipes from molten metal are being popularized at home and abroad. Domestic in copper, copper alloy, aluminum, aluminum alloy and other aspects have begun to use this method. Artificial graphite is considered to be the most suitable material for continuous casting or semi-continuous casting of non-ferrous metals. Production practice has proved that the adoption of graphite mould, because of its good performance of thermal conductivity, thermal conductivity performance determines the speed of solidification of the metal or alloy), mold good self-lubricating performance factors, not only make the casting speed, and due to the size of the ingot casting precision, smooth surface, uniform crystal structure, can be directly for the next working procedure of processing. This not only greatly improves the yield, reduces the waste loss, but also greatly improves the product quality. There are two continuous casting methods: vertical continuous casting and horizontal continuous casting.
