APPARATUS FOR CONTINUOUS CASTING OF METAL Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: metallurgy. SUBSTANCE: apparatus has: casting ladle with outlet hole in collector of slide gate; protecting pipe; intermediate ladle with lid and holes for metal feeding in and pouring out; porous inserts in its bottom; receptacle chamber with partitions, in lower part of which there are holes for metal going through. Apparatus has horizontal disk with oblong hole to let collector to move in it in limits of working stroke. Disk is fixed on bottom of casting ladle and overlaps upper butt of protecting pipe. Hole in disk is top shut by damper, that has round hole for collector. Damper moves together with collector. In the case joints between disk, pipe and lid are sealed by fibrous fire-proof material. Ratio of value of pipe and receptacle chamber are (0.2 -1.2) : 1 and ratio of spaces of holes of collector, intermediate ladle bottom receptacle chamber partitions and protecting pipe cross section are correspondingly 1 : (5 -40) : (1 - 4) : (20 - 200). Porous inserts are located before inlet and after outlet butts of holes in partitions. EFFECT: apparatus is used in metallurgy. 4 cl, 6 dwg, 2 tbl
