An aluminum wire feeder consisting of a flexible conduit and positioning tube are connected to a removable shroud by a tube holder. A feed mechanism provides a continuous source of aluminum wire for feeding the same to a continuous casting mold, only during shrouding conditions.

Apparatus for producing aluminum-deoxidized continuously cast steel

Apparatus for protecting a molten metal pouring stream between a teeming vessel and a hot metal receiving mold beneath the vessel, including a heat resistant metal shroud tube, carrying at its lower extremity a replaceable, flexible, high temperature, heat resistant cloth tube extending downwardly therefrom.

Shroud with replaceable extension

A shrouding apparatus protects a molten metal stream from atmospheric contamination by establishing a protective atmosphere around the molten metal stream. The apparatus is held tightly against the vessel from which the stream is poured. The apparatus includes means for elevating and lowering the shroud, means for aligning the shroud with the pouring stream, and means for introducing a protective atmosphere to the interior of the shroud.
