Abstract

A composition of flake graphite, binder clay and a refractory material is extruded from an auger machine into a mold to form a cylindrical graphitic casting nozzle brick. The mold includes a coaxial core terminating short of an extrusion die of the auger machine, so that the graphitic casting nozzle brick as extruded has a longitudinal bore with one end closed, with transverse holes being subsequently defined through the nozzle brick across the bore adjacent to the closed end. As an alternative, a coaxial core may be connected to an extrusion screw of the auger machine to define an axial through bore in the casting nozzle brick as the latter is extruded.
