Abstract
The history of the origin and development of the methods of reciprocating motion (rocking) of molds used in steel continuous casting plants (UNRS) and continuous casting machines (CCM) is considered. Information is given on the methods of rocking the molds of continuous casting plants (UNRM), including the technical parameters used in them (rocking law, amplitude, frequency, lead time). The influence of the parameters of the rocking laws of the UNRS molds on the quality of the surface of continuously cast billets is considered and analyzed.
Criteria are given for the optimal choice of mold motion modes for specific cases (advance time, etc.) in order to ensure the necessary requirements for casting stability and the quality of the surface of a continuously cast billet.
