# Industrial Specification: Continuous Casting Mold Copper Plate

## 1. Technical Definition
Water-cooled copper plate forming molten steel into solid strand in continuous casting.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.8-1.2 MPa cooling water pressure, 20-40°C inlet temperature, 0.5-2.0 m/s water velocity**. Failure boundary: **Copper plate surface temperature exceeds 350°C, causing recrystallization and permanent deformation; cooling water pressure drops below 0.6 MPa, leading to film boiling**, Mechanism: **Thermal fatigue from cyclic temperature gradients (ΔT &gt; 200°C) between hot face (300-400°C) and cold face (80-120°C) during casting cycles; creep deformation at sustained temperatures above 300°C due to copper's yield strength reduction by 50% at 300°C versus 20°C**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **LMTD Logarithmic Mean Temperature Difference**:

> **Primary Equation**: $Q = U \cdot A \cdot \Delta T_{lm}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Sizing validation for pasteurization and cooling tunnels.

## 5. Engineering Risks & FAQ
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 

### Q: What is the primary function of a continuous casting mold copper plate?
**A**: The copper plate forms molten steel into a solid strand through water-cooled channels during continuous casting, ensuring controlled solidification and surface quality.

### Q: Why is CuCrZr alloy used for these plates?
**A**: CuCrZr (copper-chromium-zirconium) alloy offers excellent thermal conductivity, high hardness (typically 75-110 HB), and good resistance to thermal fatigue and wear at high temperatures.

### Q: How does the cooling system work in these plates?
**A**: Precision-machined cooling water channels within the copper plate body circulate water at controlled flow rates (typically 10-50 m³/h) to extract heat from molten steel, maintaining optimal operating temperatures below 400°C.

## 6. Manufacturing Compliance
