Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
The invention concerns a mold for a continuous casting system with a shaping mold tube made of a material with high thermal conductivity. To reduce the rate of heat removal at the height of the meniscus that forms within the mold cavity the, exterior of the mold tube is provided with a plating of a material of lower thermal conductivity than that of the mold tube. This results in reduced heat flow with higher temperatures in the meniscus area and in improvement in the surface quality of the cast billet.

Why it's free to use
- Filed September 18, 1998 and granted November 26, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended September 18, 2018.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by September 18, 2020.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
