Abstract

See full text

A high temperature heated valve for regulating the flow of molten metal. To maintain the molten metal in its molten state, the valve includes a heater fixedly secured to the valve housing and inserted to a selected heating location at least partially in the flow path of the molten metal. The heater element preferably includes an elongated cartridge assembly extending to a location inside of the valve housing to be proximate to the stopper member when the valve is closed. Preferably, an end portion of the cartridge will extend into a bore defined in the stopper member when the valve is closed. The valve may be incorporated into a molten metal circulation apparatus for facilitating the casting of metal articles.
