Abstract
A submerged nozzle for continuous thin-slab casting by which a high quality thin-slab strand may be stably supplied for a long time in a continuous manner is provided, as a drift current and surface fluctuation of molten steel in the nozzle and a mold are prevented, and adhesion of ground metal to the nozzle, the damages of the nozzle and the like are suppressed even under long time use. In the submerged nozzle for continuous thin-slab casting, which comprises: a molten steel entrance port at the upper end; a molten steel stream channel with a shape of a tube extending downward from the molten steel entrance port; and a molten steel discharge opening at the lower end and in which the molten steel stream channel includes an upper section with a shape of a circular cylinder, an intermediate section with a transforming shape from a shape of a circular cylinder to a shape of a flat cylinder, and a lower section with a shape of a flat and straight tube, a cross sectional area at the flat and straight tube section in the lower section is configured to be equal to or larger than 95% or equal to or less than 105% of a cross sectional area at the cylindrical section in the upper section of the molten steel stream channel.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
