Continuous casting graphite molds are essential in the metal casting industry for producing ferrous and non-ferrous alloys, including steel, stainless steel, copper, aluminum, gold, and silver. In continuous casting, the process of pouring and solidification is uninterrupted, resulting in a continuous cast product.
The manufacturing process involves precision machining of high-quality graphite to ensure dimensional accuracy. Key advantages of graphite molds include:
1. Excellent thermal conductivity for uniform heat dissipation, reducing internal defects.
2. Self-lubricating properties that minimize friction, improving surface finish and extending mold life.
3. High temperature resistance, suitable for various metals from aluminum to steel.
Overall, graphite molds enhance production efficiency and product quality in continuous casting operations.
