The plastic deformation of a 165 × 165 mm2 tube mould during casting was measured. It was found that the internal bulge in the meniscus region of about 0.2 mm developed at the very beginning of mould life during the first three heats and afterwards stayed practically unchanged till the end of mould life of 512 heats
