GLASS FOR CASTING THIN SLABS FOR DISTRIBUTION OF MELTED METAL WITH HIGH FLOW

摘要

A thin slab nozzle contains a central bore extending downstream along longitudinal axis X1 from an inlet orifice at an upstream end. The central bore comprises an upstream bore portion with a height Ha, in communication with a converging bore portion of height He, in communication with a thin bore portion of height Hf ending at the upstream end of a divider, and first and second front ports separated from one another by the divider and coupled to the central bore portion at least partially at the converging bore portion. X2 is a transverse axis, normal to X1, along which the nozzle becomes thinner in a downstream portion. In a section of the thin slab nozzle along a symmetry plane Π1 defined by X1 and by X2, the bore wall of the converging bore portion is curved at all points, and Hf/He≤1.
