In the case of little difference in the size of the production section, the inner and outer arc spray pipes of the billet can basically not be modified, and only the nozzle type is changed to adapt to the section, but the two-side arc spray pipes cannot spray the center of the billet because the outer arc reference of the caster is unchanged and the center line of the billet side arc changes with the section.
