Abstract：The taper of mould plays an important role in raising output, improving the billet quality and prolonging the mould lifespan in the course of continuous casting.In this article,temperature and shrinkage of bloom with diameter of 600mm, mould temperature distribution and mould distortion are computed.The results show that the larger the size of bloom is, the smaller the length of mold should be.If the double taper is used, the taper is 2.33%/m from the meniscus to the position below meniscus 200mm and the taper of the rest is 0.78%/m.If the mold taper is designed to be a continuous variation, the taper from the maximum of the 2.89%/m to the minimum value of 0.14%/m is linear.
