Abstract

See full text

A molten metal slide gate valve for use on a ladle or tundish. The slide gate valve uses a stationary upper plate having a groove formed in its lower face around the periphery of the plate. The groove is connected to a source of a nonoxidizing gas under pressure to provide a gas seal around the molten metal orifices in the slide gate valve and prevent the aspiration of air into the molten metal orifices during discharge of the molten metal from the ladle or tundish.
