Abstract
A chill vent is provided with a cooling pipe around a zigzag-shaped gas exhaust passage, and made of a Be--Cu alloy which is superior in cooling power. An accelerated solidification of non-solidified molten metal entering into the chill vent is achieved, thereby effectively preventing flashing of the molten metal without complicating the construction or increasing the size of the entire facility.
