Abstract

A molten metal processing device including a molten metal containment structure for reception and transport of molten metal along a longitudinal length thereof. The device further includes a cooling unit for the containment structure including a cooling channel for passage of a liquid medium therein, and an ultrasonic probe disposed in relation to the cooling channel such that ultrasonic waves are coupled through the liquid medium in the cooling channel and through the molten metal containment structure into the molten metal.

IPC Classes  ?

• B22D 27/08 - Shaking, vibrating, or turning of moulds
• B22D 1/00 - Treatment of fused masses in the ladle or the supply runners before casting
• B22D 11/114 - Treating the molten metal by using agitating or vibrating means
• B22D 11/14 - Plants for continuous casting, e.g. for upwardly drawing the strand
• B22D 11/22 - Controlling or regulating processes or operations for cooling cast stock or mould
• B22D 35/06 - Heating or cooling equipment
• B22D 21/00 - Casting non-ferrous metals or metallic compounds so far as their metallurgical properties are of importance for the casting procedureSelection of compositions therefor
• B22D 37/00 - Controlling or regulating the pouring of molten metal from a casting melt-holding vessel
• B22D 35/04 - Equipment for conveying molten metal into beds or moulds into moulds, e.g. base plates, runners
• B22D 11/117 - Refining the metal by treating with gases
• B22D 30/00 - Cooling castings, not restricted to casting processes covered by a single main group
• B22D 11/00 - Continuous casting of metals, i.e. casting in indefinite lengths
• B22D 11/103 - Distributing the molten metal, e.g. using runners, floats, distributors
