Continuous casting industry In recent years, advanced production methods such as direct continuous (or semi-continuous) production of bars or tubes from molten metal state are being promoted at home and abroad. Artificial graphite is considered a suitable material as a mold for continuous or semi-continuous casting of non-ferrous metals. Production practice has proved that the continuous casting industry uses graphite molds because of its good thermal conductivity (the thermal conductivity determines the solidification speed of the metal or alloy), and the good self-lubricating performance of the mold. High dimensional accuracy, smooth surface, uniform crystal structure, and can be directly processed in the next process. This not only greatly improves the yield and reduces waste loss, but also greatly improves product quality. There are two types of continuous casting methods: vertical continuous casting and horizontal continuous casting.
