Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022256805A1] Described are nosetips for continuous casting of a metal alloy. The nosetip may include a first portion having a first surface parallel to a second surface opposite the first surface. The nosetip may include a second portion having a third surface directed toward an extended first surface. The extended first surface may be in a common plane with the first surface. The nosetip may include a third portion having an arcuate surface connecting the third surface to the extended first surface. The arcuate surface may include a point of curvature at a vertical distance from the extended first surface. The vertical distance may be configured to limit a maximum meniscus height for liquid metal, cast using the nosetip, between the nosetip and a continuous casting surface. Also described are methods of continuous casting a metal alloy at a casting speed of greater than 12 m/min.
