Abstract
Provided herein is a system, apparatus, and method for providing casting gas to a direct chill casting mold, and more particularly, to supplying casting gas to a direct chill casting mold at a well-regulated pressure and volume using fluid injectors. Systems for supplying casting gas to a continuous casting mold can include: a continuous casting mold cavity; a casting gas supply line; an injector receiving casting gas from the casting gas supply line; and a post injector casting gas supply line, where the casting gas supply line provides casting gas at a pressure above 300 psi (pounds per square inch) to an input of the injector, where a controller controls the injector to supply casting gas via the post injector casting gas supply line to the continuous casting mold cavity.
