apparatus for horizontal continuous casting.

摘要

In a device for the horizontal continuous casting of ingots or billets without pronounced structure there is provided in the wall of the trough an opening which connects up with another opening in the lower part of a disc-shaped nozzle which is used to transfer the molten metal to the mold. For casting round ingots this nozzle opening is in plan view approximately in the form of a banana-shaped slit, and is provided with a run-out surface inclined in the direction of casting and running into the inner face of the mold. The opening forms a trumpet-shaped taper towards the inside of the trough.
