Abstract

The mold continuous casting of metals includes a stationary base frame; a support plate within the base frame, the support plate including first and second opposed sides; a metallic shaping wall mounted on the support plate and having a longitudinal axis in the direction of casting; a carrier plate attached to the base frame; a plurality of spring elements each having two ends and being uniformly distributed over and fastened at one end thereof to the first side of the support plate, the other ends of the spring elements being fastened to the carrier plate, the first side of the support plate facing away from the shaping wall, the spring elements extending in a direction transverse to the direction of casting and having a stiffness which is substantially less in the direction of casting than in the two directions transverse thereto.
