Abstract
A molten metal feed tip assembly comprises independently replaceable upstream and downstream units. The upstream unit comprises a pair of upstream plates spaced apart by one or more spacers. The downstream unit is preassembled and comprises a pair of spaced-apart downstream plates, each comprising two or more segments. The downstream unit also comprises spacers for maintaining the spacing between the plates and a brace, which extends across the upstream edges of the downstream plate segments to maintain the segments in edge-to-edge abutment.
