Behrends, G

In a continuous casting machine comprising a chilled mold disposed to receive molten metal which is discharged from the mold as a curved casting having a predetermined casting radius, and an oscillating drive for oscillating the mold relative to the casting, wherein the improvement described comprises mold guidance means having a first tensile element having an inner end and an outer end, the outer end being anchored to a fixed external frame and the inner end being secured to move with the mold, the first tensile element lying on a first radius extending from the center of curvature of said pre-determined casting radius; and a second tensile element having an inner and an outer end both anchored to a fixed external frame and secured to move with the mold intermediate the inner and outer ends, at least one end having variable tensioning means adapted to apply a tensile force to the second tensile element, the second tensile element lying on a second radius extending from the center of curvature of said predetermined casting radius.
