Estimating the term…
In a casting nozzle, tubes are placed between a bar-shaped mouthpiece and a distribution bar, which connect holes in the mouthpiece and the distribution bar to allow for the flow of the melt. Pulling rods which are under tension, are anchored to the mouthpiece and to the distribution bar and press these parts elastically against the ends of the tubes in such a manner that the nozzle components are elastically braced, yet remain flexible and can adjust freely to heat dilatations or inaccuracies which occur in fabrication or assembly. The nozzle components, particularly the tubes, are easy to obtain and to exchange. Due to the fact that the pulling rods enter the mouthpiece from its back side and are anchored therein, the mouthpiece can be very slender, thus allowing for thin casting.
A casting nozzle for introducing molten metal into a mold of a continuous casting machine, comprising a mouthpiece, a tundish and a connecting part comprising tubes, the connecting part being positioned between the mouthpiece and the tundish, the mouthpiece and the connecting part being held together by pulling rods under a tension caused by elastic elements.
A casting nozzle for the introduction of molten metal into the mold of a continuous casting machine, comprising a mouthpiece, a distribution bar and connecting part positioned between the mouthpiece and the distribution bar whereby the mouthpiece, the distribution bar and the connecting part are held together by pulling rods which enter the mouthpiece on one side of the mouthpiece and are anchored to the mouthpiece.
