MUMBAI, India, Sept. 28 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202647111133 A) filed by Hertwich Engineering Gmbh on September 16, 2026, for Device For Vertical Continuous Casting.
Inventors include Berrer, Manuel; and Fellsner, Christian Karl.
The application for the patent was published on September 25, 2026, under issue no. 39/2026.
Abstract: The invention relates to a device for vertical continuous casting, having a casting pit (1) which, together with a die (2), forms an outlet region (3) for a metal strand (4) forming a liquid metal column. In order to design such a device in such a way that, despite simple design measures, undesired segregation effects in the edge regions or on the surface of the cast metal are effectively reduced even below the solidification point (20), it is proposed that the outlet region (3) is closed off in a gas-tight manner and in order to reduce the difference between the metallostatic pressure of the liquid metal column, in particular at the level of the solidification point (20) of the metal strand (4), and the pressure in the outlet region (3) is provided with a fresh gas supply (8) and an exhaust gas discharge (9) for setting a casting pit pressure and for discharging a coolant.
