Description

코팅된 용융금속 필터(filter)
본 내용은 요부공개 건이므로 전문내용을 수록하지 않았음
제1도는 본 발명의 필터가 사용된 통상적인 주형어셈블리(assembly)의 구조도이고,
제2a, 2b 및 2c는 본 발명의 필터를 위치시킨 것을 나타내는 연속적인 주조 어셈블리 부분의 구조도이며,
제3도는 코팅내에 탄소의 농도변화에 따른 필터의 코팅높이와 주어진 과열(super heat)에서 용융금속이 필터를 통과하는지 여부를 나타내는 그래프로서, 탄소는 테르밋(thermite)코팅상의 코팅으로서 나타낸 것이다.

Claims (13)
