Abstract

A casting nozzle comprises an elongated body defined by an outer wall and comprising a bore defined by a bore wall and extending along a longitudinal axis, X1, from a bore inlet to a downstream bore end, said bore comprising two opposite side ports, each extending transversally to said longitudinal axis, X1, from an opening at the bore wall defining a port inlet adjacent to the downstream bore end, to an opening at the outer wall defining a port outlet which fluidly connects the bore with an outer atmosphere. Upstream from, and directly above each port inlet, one or two flow deflectors protrude out of the bore wall and extend from an upstream deflector end remote from the port inlet to a downstream deflector end close to the port inlet.
