Abstract
A scarfing apparatus which allows a greater diagonal stand-off distance from a slab during preheating and scarfing is disclosed. The apparatus includes a manifold and head assembly for receiving and distributing oxygen and fuel gas. Upper and lower preheat blocks extend from the manifold and head assembly. The blocks are spaced to define an oxygen scarfing slot and discharge orifice of predetermined size for receiving a flow of scarfing oxygen from the manifold and head assembly. A plurality of preheat nozzle inserts are mounted within the upper preheat block adjacent to each other in a row substantially across the width of the upper preheat block. Each nozzle insert includes a central bore through which a flow of oxygen is received from the manifold and head assembly and discharged through the insert. Longitudinally extending, substantially parallel flutes are positioned on the outer surface of the nozzle inserts and form fuel gas flow channels which receive fuel gas from the manifold and head assembly and deliver the fuel gas in a substantially parallel, concentric flow around the central flow of oxygen to prevent a sharp fuel gas flow intersection with the oxygen to maintain the momentum of the oxygen adjacent the nozzles as it exits the central bore. The nozzle inserts may be readily replaced when damaged. A method of initiating preheating of a slab with the scarfing apparatus of the present invention also is disclosed.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
