Abstract: A device for pumping molten metal includes a pump configured to pump molten metal, wherein the pump comprises (i) a motor, (ii) a shaft having a first end connected to the motor, and a second end connected to a rotor, wherein the rotor is configured to push molten metal upwards as it rotates. At least part of the shaft and the rotor are positioned in a conduit of a riser. The riser has an outer surface, a front, a bottom, a two-stage conduit, an inlet and an outlet above the inlet and below the motor. The two-stage conduit has a lower stage and a an upper stage, wherein the lower stage is generally cylindrical and the upper stage has a circular cross-sectional portion and one or more lobes extending from and in communication with the circular cross-sectional portion.

Abstract: A continuous casting machine is provided that includes a refractory tundish funnel. The tundish funnel has a tapered shape and is designed to sit on a tundish lid in order to channel steel from the ladle to the tundish bath. A collector can also be provided to channel the steel from the ladle. The collector has an opening with a cross-section that transitions from a cylindrical shape to a cross-shape.

Abstract: A process for high integrity castings of metals and their alloys includes the steps of providing at least a sand mold at desired elevated temperatures, delivering a molten metal into the mold, and supplying a predetermined amount of coolant to contact the surfaces of the casting at desired rates, times, and durations to achieve an acceptable level of progressive solidification from the distal end of the casting towards the riser until the casting has reached desired temperatures.

Abstract: The invention relates to systems for transferring molten metal from one structure to another. Aspects of the invention include a transfer chamber constructed inside of or next to a vessel used to retain molten metal. The transfer chamber is in fluid communication with the vessel so molten metal from the vessel can enter the transfer chamber. A powered device, which may be inside of the transfer chamber, moves molten metal upward and out of the transfer chamber and preferably into a structure outside of the vessel, such as another vessel or a launder.

Abstract: A system for removing molten metal from a vessel is disclosed. The system includes a vessel having a first section and a second section and a pump positioned in the first section of the vessel. As the pump operates it moves molten metal through a pump discharge and through an opening into the second section of the vessel, where the molten metal reaches a vessel outlet and exits the vessel. The pump discharge is preferably formed at an angle to the vessel outlet. The outlet may be attached to a launder.

Abstract: A molten metal holding and pouring box with a rectangular-shaped upper section and a pyramidal-shaped lower section provides a relatively constant flow of molten metal being poured from the box through each of two bottom nozzles into two separate foundry molds at the same time. The two bottom nozzles are contained in a unitary dual nozzle assembly that facilitates replacement as required by wear, or a change in location of the sprue cups in the two separate foundry molds being filled with molten metal.
