Abstract
A process and apparatus for continuously and semi-continuously casting molten metals and alloys. Control of the initial stages of solidification is carried out through application of a thermal insulating layer on the coolant side of a casting mold wall. The layer modifies the heat flux characteristics of the mold along a selected length thereof.
