Sczygiol Institute of Mechanics and Machine Design, Technical University of Cz§stochowa, ul.

Numerical simulation for two types of rolls have been performed, under assumption of different conditions for their cooling. INTRODUCTION Guiding rolls of continuous casting machine are in permanent contact with a moving cast slab. The rolls are loaded by this cast both mechanically and thermally. After some time from the start-up of the machine - the steady state of the heat conduction occurs. The heat coming from the cast slab is transferred via guiding roll to the environment (air or coo
