Abstract
A method of removing heat from molten metal in which the metal is caused to flow freely within a gaseous media or vacuum over a body disposed within the metal stream such that any tendency for the metal to solidify during its passage is effective on the surface of said body against which the solidifying metal contracts into intimate contact therewith. The body may be forcibly cooled, e.g. by water. Accordingly, since the liquid metal is not enveloped by a channel or pipe, the solidifying shell tends to shrink on to the body, no gap is created, and this much higher heat transfer coefficients between the shell, the liquid metal, and the cooling body are achieved.
