This page explains how Water-Cooled Copper Mold is classified within Basic Metal Manufacturing. Technical values and manufacturer relationships are research references; confirm the current specification and supplier evidence for each order.
A copper mold with internal water cooling channels used in continuous casting to solidify molten steel into a specific cross-sectional shape.
Technical details and manufacturing context for Water-Cooled Copper Mold
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Mold Cross-Section Size | 150×150–300×300 mm | Custom sizes available on request |
| Mold Length | 700–1000 mm | Affects residence time and shell thickness |
| Copper Plate Thickness | 20–40 mm | Thicker plates for higher service life |
| Cooling Water Flow Rate | 100–200 m³/h | Ensures heat removal; too low leads to overheating |
| Cooling Water Velocity | 6–10 m/s | High velocity prevents boiling and scale |
| Cooling Water Temperature Rise | 5–10 °C | Higher rise indicates insufficient cooling |
| Mold Taper | 0.8–1.2 %/m | Compensates for shrinkage; wrong taper causes cracks |
| Surface Roughness | 0.8–1.6 μm Ra | Smoother surface improves strand qualityISO 4287 |
| Copper Purity | 99.9 % | High purity ensures thermal conductivityGB/T 5231 |
| Hardness | 80–110 HB | Balances wear resistance and machinabilityISO 6506-1 |
| Weight | 500–1500 kg | Depends on size and plate thickness |
Ranges are indicative industry figures for RFQ preparation, not a supplier commitment. Confirm every value and standard with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
This component is essential for the following industrial systems and equipment:
| pressure: | Max water pressure: 10-15 bar, typical operating: 4-8 bar |
| flow rate: | Water flow: 100-500 L/min per meter of mold length |
| temperature: | Operating: 20-80°C, Molten steel contact: up to 1600°C (surface) |
| slurry concentration: | Not applicable (clean water systems only) |
Indicative industry ranges for design and RFQ preparation. Confirm the exact figures and applicable standard with the manufacturer before specifying.

Manufacturer profiles associated with Water-Cooled Copper Mold.
Manufacturer listings support early research and capability understanding. They are not certification, ranking, or transaction guarantees.
A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
The typical cross-section size range is 150×150 to 300×300 mm, but custom sizes are available on request. Always confirm the exact size for your application with the manufacturer.
Cooling water velocity (typically 6–10 m/s) ensures efficient heat removal and prevents boiling and scale formation. Too low a velocity can lead to overheating and reduced mold life.
Mold taper compensates for steel shrinkage during solidification. A typical taper of 0.8–1.2 %/m is used; incorrect taper can cause cracks or poor surface quality.
Standards such as ISO 4287, GB/T 5231, and ISO 6506-1 are referenced for testing or material specifications. They are not proof of certification; verify compliance with the manufacturer or supplier.
