Abstract

A continuous-casting mold having two broad-side walls carrying the mold-forming plates which are preferably of copper and clamp the narrow side wall members between them. The entire assembly is received in an outer frame which is shape stable and hence rigid so as to take up all forces which arise in adjustment of the plates as clamping forces and as thermal forces from, for example, thermal expansion of the mold members.
