For centering the cooling jackets of CCM tube molds relative to the tube, bolts twisted into the jacket are used. The adjustment is made manually, as a result the annular gap between the sleeve and the jacket can have a significant deviation from the specified values. The gap function is to cool the structure by passing water. Taking into account that almost all the modern CCMs for casting long, bloom and round billets are equipped with tube molds, creating a mold design in which the gap between the tube and the cooling jacket is formed with a high degree of accuracy, ensuring uniform heat removal from the walls of the tube is an urgent task. This is necessary to ensure a uniform thickness of the shell of the solidifying billet. The conditions were considered for the formation of a uniform shell of a solidifying ingot in a mold and the production of a billet that meets the requirements for its surface and geometric dimensions, the absence of internal and external cracks of thermal origin. It was shown that the violation of the alignment of the cooling jacket and the tube surfaces results in violation of the uniformity of the cooling water flow. The difference in the volume of water flowing in various parts of the gap between the tube and the jacket can reach 40%. When casting billets with diameters of 600 and 550 mm, the difference in heat flows due to misalignment in existing molds can be 30–40% and 25–35% respectively, and with a cross section of 300×400 mm – 13–23%. In order to eliminate these shortcomings, a new design of the tube mold was developed in VNIIMETMASH (Moscow), in which the gap between the sleeve and the cooling jacket is formed with high accuracy, ensuring uniform heat removal from the walls of the tube and obtaining a uniform thickness of the shell of the solidifying ingot. This will ensure that the casted billet meets the requirements for its quality parameters and geometric dimensions. The diagram of the designed mold for the bloom CCM, which produces billets with a cross section of 340×380 mm is presented.
