Single-Pour Ingot Casting
Applications
Molds used for ingot casting in the steelmaking industry are commonly referred to as Ingot Molds (Chill Molds). These molds are generally manufactured from ductile cast iron (nodular cast iron). The shape and dimensional specifications of the cast ingots depend on the geometry and internal dimensions of the ingot molds. Ingot molds are classified and designated according to their internal geometry. Pouring molten steel into these molds requires various auxiliary components, typically including Trumpets, Base Plates, Stool Plates, and Hot Tops (Feed Heads). These components are designed and manufactured according to the mold configuration, assembly arrangement, and geometry.
