Applicator nozzle for use in centrifugal casting

Claim 2

A nozzle for use in centrifugal casting wherein a coating solution is applied onto a molding surface of a rotating metal mold for formation of a mold coating on the molding surface through the nozzle mounted on a lance as the lance advances into the metal mold, said nozzle comprising a nozzle main body communicated with such a lance and a plurality of nozzle openings which are arranged on said nozzle main body at a predetermined pitch to each other such that the pitch between the nozzle openings is given by the equation: P = 6000/NXY (cm) wherein P is the pitch between the nozzle openings, N is the number of revolutions of the metal mold in r.p.m., X is the number of nozzle openings and Y is the moving speed of the lance in sec./m. by which relationship a uniform coating can be applied without any spiral patterns on the surface of the metal mold, said plurality of nozzle openings being formed in a separate plate member releasably mounted on said nozzle main body.

Claim 3

A nozzle according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of nozzle openings are located in two rows on the surface of the nozzle such that the rows extend in a direction parallel to the rotating axis of the metal mold, one of the rows being arranged such that each of the nozzle openings are staggered between the nozzle openings of the other row.

Claim 4

An applicator nozzle for use in centrifugal casting wherein a coating solution is applied onto a molding surface of a rotating metal mold for formation of a mold coating on the molding surface through the applicator nozzle mounted on an applicator lance as the applicator lance advances into the metal mold, said applicator nozzle comprising a nozzle main body communicated with such an applicator lance, and a plurality of nozzle openings which are arranged on said nozzle main body at a predetermined pitch to each other in a direction in advance of such an applicator lance and in such positions as to face such a molding surface and so arranged to discharge the coating solution in a direction perpendicular to such a molding surface so as to form the mold coating on such a molding surface, said plurality of nozzle openings being formed in a separate plate member releasably mounted in said nozzle main body and wherein the pitch between the nozzle openings on the nozzle main body is given by the equation: P = 6000/NXY (cm) wherein P is the pitch between the nozzle openings, N is the number of revolutions of the metal mold in r.p.m., X is the number of nozzle openings and Y is the moving speed of the lance in sec./m. by which relationship a uniform coating can be applied without any spiral patterns on the surface of the metal mold.

Claim 5

An applicator nozzle for use in centrifugal casting wherein a coating solution is applied onto a molding surface of a rotating metal mold for formation of a mold coating on the molding surface through the applicator nozzle mounted on an applicator lance as the applicator lance advances into the metal mold, said applicator nozzle comprising a nozzle main body communicated with such an applicator lance, and a plurality of nozzle openings which are arranged on said nozzle main body at a predetermined pitch to each other in a direction in advance of such an applicator lance and in such positions as to face such a molding surface and so arranged to discharge the coating solution in a direction perpendicular to such a molding surface so as to form the mold coating on such a molding surface, said plurality of nozzle openings being formed in a separate plate member releasably mounted in said nozzle main body and wherein the pitch between the nozzle openings on the nozzle main body is given by the equation: P = 6000/NXY (cm) wherein P is the pitch between the nozzle openings, N is the number of revolutions of the metal mold in r.p.m., X is the number of nozzle openings and Y is the moving speed of the lance in sec./m. by which relationship a uniform coating can be applied without any spiral patterns on the surface of the metal mold.

Claim 6

An applicator nozzle according to claim 3, wherein the plurality of nozzle openings are located in two rows on the surface of the nozzle such that the rows extend in a direction parallel to the rotating axis of the metal mold, one of the rows being arranged such that each of the nozzle openings are staggered between the nozzle openings of the other row.
