  • Metallurgical Lance with Annular Gas Flow Control
    Publication number: 20080272524
    Abstract: A method of controlling total jet pressure from the head of a metallurgical lance for introducing gas into a volume of metal in a vessel. The lance head has at least one ejector, which has a nozzle located in a bore of the lance head and has an annular gas passage between at least one nozzle and the wall of the bore. The method proceeds by adjusting the annular gas velocity from a first Mach number to a second mach number to effect change of the total jet pressure.
    Type: Application

  • Metallurgical lance
    Publication number: 20060001201
    Abstract: A metallurgical lance for introducing gas into a volume of molten material in a furnace includes a head having a bore extending therethrough, a mounting assembly at the head in the bore, and a nozzle detachably secured to the mounting assembly by a connection, the nozzle adapted to coact with a tool releasably engagable with the nozzle to insert and withdraw same from the lance head through the bore without dismantling the nozzle.
