Abstract
A coolant or wiper control system for use in continuous casting mold for controlling and managing the coolants interaction with the castpart during casting. In some aspects of the process, the wiper framework is started sufficiently away from the bottom block so as not to interfere or cause/allow coolant to get into the bottom block; is then rapidly moved back to the emerging castpart during transient heat-up; and then moved away from the mold with the solidified castpart at a controlled rate to a predetermined steady state position or to a second transitory state of the casting.
