ABSTRACT:
A splash can for placement in a mold before pouring molten metal into the mold, so as to eliminate scab producing splashes during pouring into the ingot mold. The top of the mold typically has a mouth of reduced diameter and the splash can of the present invention is of cylindrical form having a diameter greater than the mouth. The can is formed from material compatible with the molten material and deformable so that the can can be folded for introduction into the ingot mold through the mouth without exceeding the elastic limit of the material. The can is retained in the folded position by a tension member that is wrapped therearound; after the folded can is introduced into the mold, the tension member is severed whereupon the can springs into a generally cylindrical shape within the mold.
