Claims9
An anti-splash device for an ingot-mould, making it possible to limit the splashing of droplets of molten steel at the time of casting in an ingot-mould, placed in the bottom of the latter, this device being constituted by sheets of cardboard or similar material, arranged in the form of a rosette which can be opened out prior to its use by opening the latter in the manner of a fan, in order to increase the density at the centre of the rosette, the ends of the sheets closest to the centre of the open rosette being stuck to each other by means of an adhesive which remains flexible after setting, in order to form a central cylinder of small diameter, at the centre of the open rosette, which cylinder contributes to keeping the arrangement of the open rosette rigid.
