Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006089419A1] The invention provides a feeder for delivery of molten metal into a mold formed between confronting casting surfaces of a continuous casting machine. The feeder comprises a projecting nozzle tip having at least a lower wall provided with a molten metal-contacting inner surface, a generally flat outer surface and an end surface at an outer extremity of the tip extending between the inner and outer surface. The inner surface is generally flat and preferably slopes towards the outer surface considered in a direction moving towards the extremity of the tip at an angle of slope of no more than 8 degrees. The end surface is generally flat and extends from the inner surface to the outer surface at an acute angle of less than 88°, e.g. in the range of 15 to 80 degrees, relative to the inner surface in a direction away from the extremity of the tip. The feeder casts a metal sheet article having reduced surface defects caused by rupture of the metal oxide during casting.
