Abstract (en)

[origin: US4519438A] A casting tube 8 of a refractory material comprises at its upper end a series of openings for the injection of a protective gas, for example argon, to create an atmosphere which protects the incoming molten metal against oxidation and cools the walls of the casting tube. The injection openings are grooves 11 formed in an upper frustoconical part of the casting tube, whose outer surface defines a fixing collar. These grooves are interconnected by an annular passage 12.
