Tube moulds, copper moulds, continuous casting moulds
50 years of experience in the production of copper moulds
Egon Evertz KG is a global player in the technology and manufacturing of copper moulds for the continuous casting process. Our moulds are reliable and cost efficient because of their long service life, highest standard of performance and are backed up by 50 years of know-how and R&D, which we have put into engineering top quality products.
Copper moulds play an important role in the continuous casting process. Their function is to receive the molten steel and guarantee rapid heat transfer to the cooling water to enable quick solidification. The moulds must have excellent thermal conductivity and be resistant to thermal erosion and distortion.
Copper mould surface coatings
To extend the life of copper moulds plating is required to coat the inside walls. The quality of the coating on the inside walls has a key role in determining the moulds service life. Over the years we have developed multiple coating solutions and continuously improved the quality and cost efficiency of our continuous casting moulds.
Fabrication of continuous casting moulds for billets, blooms and slab casting lines. Evertz specialist nickel based and chrome coatings are also available.

Surface coatings
Copper mould
To extend the life of copper moulds plating can be coated to the inside walls. The quality of the coating has a significant role in determining the mould service life. Over the years we have developed different coatings and continuously improved the quality and cost efficiency of our continuous casting moulds.
Parallel coating
Prevents direct contact between the strand and the copper, controls thermal losses (in all cases, not dissipation) by varying the thickness of the coating and thus improves service life.
Multiple coating
Compensates hot spots and improves service life.
Partial parallel coating at the mould entrance or exit
Entrance: Reduces heat dissipation in the upper areas of the mould, prevents overlapping and improves service life.
Exit: Reduces heat dissipation at the mould end and improves service life.
Conical coating
Controls heat dissipation along the length of the mould and improves service life.
Depending on the requirements different coating processes and materials can be applied in order to achieve the optimal results. Available coating materials are Ag, Ni, Cr, Mo, CrO, ZrO, Al2O3. The coatings are applied via chemical, electrolytic or thermal processes.
Continuous casting moulds - Shapes
We manufacture continuous casting tube moulds in copper and other commonly used copper alloys (recommended materials are Sidex®, Cupragan® and Cupratherm®). All types of cross sections, internal tapers and shapes can be manufactured in our own facility located in Germany.
