Tundish Refractories
Metering Nozzle
Zirconia nozzle that sets the casting rate by a fixed bore diameter instead of a moving throttle, letting several strands run in parallel on one machine. Everything depends on the bore holding its size, so the thermal expansion coefficient of the material is the critical parameter.
