Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Disclosed is a vessel for melting and casting meltable materials. The vessel may be a surface temperature regulated vessel for providing a substantially non-wetting interface with the molten materials. In one embodiment, the vessel may include one or more temperature regulating channels configured to flow a fluid therein for regulating a surface temperature of the vessel such that molten materials are substantially non-wetting at the interface with the vessel. Disclosed also includes systems and methods for melting and casting meltable materials using the vessel.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A vessel comprising: a melting portion configured to receive meltable material to be melted into a molten material therein; an inner surface that contacts the molten material; and one or more temperature regulating fluid flow channels configured to flow a fluid therein for regulating a temperature of the inner surface such that the temperature of substantially whole of the inner surface is regulated; wherein the inner surface comprises ceramic or refract…
