Abstract
The characteristic temperature, thermal stress fields, and friction damage of curved moulds for casting 115-136 mm square billets were studied using m athematical model finite element calculations and thermal photoelastic expe riments. The results showed that in the curved mould, the highest temperatu res and thermal stresses were experienced near the meniscus level. Below th e meniscus, a secondary peak was also found.
