moulds during installation

this pic shows a set of 5 moulds placed on the oscillating bench of a caster.

what are the specifications should one know about these moulds? well. there is a lottttttttttt. a lot indeed. but a simple look into this image can tell us some basic, ballpark info about this caster. such as, this is a square mould that casts billets continuously; there is this AMLC, and M-EMS; radioactive sources are placed outside the mould body as against some other mould bodies where this source is placed inside; the wider inter-mould-distance shows, this caster is designed to cast much larger sections of billets or rounds (in fact this machine is designed to cast rounds as large as 450mm-dia); these moulds can cast billets in open/close casting modes, which of course needs an oil slit on top of mould.

evident from the absence of fenders in four moulds is that this image was taken during installation.

more on moulds, but later. :-)
