Abstract
The invention relates to floats and to a process for manufacturing floats for the continuous casting of metal alloys and particularly aluminum and alloys thereof, said floats being formed by assembling machined parts of compressed panels of alumino-silicate ceramic fibers having a voluminal mass above 0.45 g/cm.sup.3, in which the surfaces which come into contact with the molten metal alloy are coated with a suspension of metallic oxides in a mineral hardener.
Claims11
A process for manufacturing floats for the regulation of the level of molten metal in the continuous casting of the metal comprising assembling the float with parts formed of plates of aluminum silicate fibers in which the plates having a density above 0.45 g/cm.sup.3 have been machined to form the parts, coating the machined surfaces of the parts, before or after assembly, with a mixture of a refractory metal oxide in finely divided form and a mineral hardener or binder.
