Cast iron ingot moulds for forging and rolling ingots — octagonal, fluted, round and square.
Ingot moulds give the ingot its shape and surface. They work under severe thermal shock: liquid steel is poured in, the ingot is stripped and the mould cools again, heat after heat. Cracks, crazing and erosion of the inner surface decide how many heats a mould lasts.
We supply cast ingot moulds made to your drawing, in grey or ductile (spheroidal graphite) cast iron, with octagonal, polygonal, fluted, round or square bores, big-end-up or big-end-down, with lifting trunnions — inspected before shipment.
- Forging ingots for open-die forging shops
- Rolling ingots and slab ingots for plate and heavy section mills
- Top pouring and bottom pouring practice
- Replacement moulds made to your existing drawing
What we supply
Product range
Octagonal and polygonal moulds
For forging ingots, with plain or corrugated faces.
Fluted round moulds
Corrugated round bores that reduce surface cracking of the ingot.
Square and rectangular moulds
For rolling ingots and slab ingots.
Trunnions and lugs
Cast-in lifting trunnions to suit your cranes and stripper.
Grey and ductile iron
Iron grade chosen for thermal fatigue resistance and mould life.
Inspection
Chemistry, dimensions and wall thickness checked, with documents for every mould.
