Abstract

A metal making lance tip assembly including a tip face member having a plurality of outlets, a plurality of nozzles corresponding in number and in communication with the tip face member outlets, and a coolant flow baffle member for directing coolant flow around the nozzles. The lance tip assembly further includes both a generally centrally disposed coolant fluid diverting protrusion and a plurality of radial vanes at the inner surface of the lance tip face member, which vanes preferably extend essentially the entire axial distance between the inner surface of the lance tip face member and a lower surface of the coolant flow baffle member and essentially the entire radial distance from the central protrusion to an annular coolant fluid return passageway.
