Abstract
An improved roll caster tip apparatus is disclosed comprising a molten metal reservoir comprising a sidewall terminating in a bottom plate and a nozzle tip member attached to the sidewall having a top wall, a bottom wall and a pair of side riser members between the top wall and the bottom wall forming a passageway terminating in an exit port for molten metal to flow from the reservoir to a pair of rollers, an opening is provided in the reservoir sidewall extending along the entire width of the nozzle tip member, and a baffle member is mounted in the reservoir extending across the entire width of the sidewall opening to provide a uniform friction for the molten metal flowing from the reservoir into the nozzle tip member whereby metal flowing into the nozzle tip member from the reservoir will have a uniform entrance velocity across the entire width of the nozzle.
