Zusammenfassung:Apparatus for the continuous casting of tubes includes a mandrel which extends into the mold. The diameter of the mandrel is expandable and contractable, suitably by having the mandrel composed of radially movable segments. During casting the diameter of the mandrel is expanded when there is no relative movement between the tube being formed and the mandrel, and is contracted when the tube moves relatively off the mandrel. In oscillating molds, in which the mandrel also oscillates, there would be no relative movement between the mandrel and the tube during the downward movement of the mandrel, during which the mandrel is expanded. On the upward movement the mandrel would be contracted.
