Abstract
A containment system for laterally containing a liquid metal material or liquid metal alloy at an open side end of a passage defined between two casting members, the system including a pneumatic device ending with a hollow end element adapted to be arranged close to the open side end of the passage, wherein the hollow end element defines a chamber therein, wherein the pneumatic device is adapted to feed a compressed aeriform substance into the chamber, and wherein the hollow end element is provided with at least one blowing face for blowing the compressed aeriform substance from the chamber towards a side containment zone for the liquid metal.
Claims20
A containment system for laterally containing an at least partially liquid metal material at an open side end of a passage defined between two casting members, said system comprising
- a feeding device for feeding at least one compressed aeriform substance,
- wherein said feeding device is provided with a hollow end element adapted to be arranged at least partially between the two casting members,
- wherein said hollow end element defines at least one chamber therein,
- wherein said feeding device is adapted to feed the at least one compressed aeriform substance into said at least one chamber,
- wherein said hollow end element is provided with at least one blowing face for blowing said at least one compressed aeriform substance from said at least one chamber towards a side containment zone of said at least partially liquid metal material;
- wherein said at least one blowing face is provided with a plurality of through holes;
- and wherein two or more non-coplanar blowing faces are provided for differently orienting a flow of said at least one aeriform substance, or wherein only one blowing face is provided in which two or more groups of through holes are provided for differently orienting a flow of said at least one aeriform substance.
