Abstract

A broadside (100) for the broadside of a funnel mold for the casting of metal. Known broadsides of this kind have at least one groove-shaped cooling channel (110) in the backside (R) of the broadside. Adjacent the cooling channel (110) on the backside of the broadside, recesses (A1, . . . , A5) are provided as well as filler elements (140-1, . . . , -5) for the at least partial sealing of the recesses. In order to constructively simplify the broadside in view of the adjustment of a generally constant flow rate of a cooling medium through the cooling channel, it is proposed to design the recesses (A1, . . . , A5) in such a way, that they cross the cooling channel (110) diagonally to its longitudinal direction. Moreover, the recesses (A1, . . . , A5) are in their expansion in longitudinal direction of the cooling channel confined to a section of the cooling channel, and in this direction they have a rectangular-shaped and/or wedge-shaped cross-section, so that the depth of the cooling channel (110) in the broadside (100) in the area of the crossing recesses (A1, . . . , A5) changes step-like and/or linearly and is filled with corresponding filler elements.
