Cooling fluid for the manufacture of wire

摘要

An improved cooling fluid for an apparatus for the manufacture of a wire by projecting a jet of liquid metal or metal alloy through a nozzle into a cooling enclosure containing the cooling fluid is characterized by the fact that the cooling fluid consists of a mixture of a gas and steam, the gas and the steam being compatible with the jet, the gas furthermore being at a temperature below the condensation point of the steam, so as to transform at least a part of the steam into liquid droplets.
