Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0711616A2] Metals, partic. low m.pt. alloys, car cast using an arrangement of a melting vessel (1) connected by a casting line (3) to a mould (4). A rising pipe (16) branches from the casting line within the melting vessel and is surrounded of at least part of its height by melt. The pipe has an overflow aperture (17) for adjusting the molten metal level which can be opened and closed via a valve (18). A check valve (14) in the casting line prevents metal flowing back into the vessel. Pref. an inert medium (20) is provided over the melt (2), the overflow aperture being below the level of the inert medium. Pref. inert medium is a liquid, partic. glycol, partic. a gas, partic. N.
