Method and apparatus for producing rapidly solidified metallic tapes.

摘要

A rapidly solidified metallic tape is produced by continuously pouring molten metal (1) into a casting space defined among a pair of cooling members and a pair of keep members each disposed close to side edge faces of the cooling rolls (3) to rapidly solidify it. In this method, a solidification shell of molten metal produced on the keep member is continuously moved in a direction opposite to the pouring direction to eliminate to exterior from the system. In the apparatus for practising the method, the keep member comprises a fixed side plate (10), a side roll (11) rotatably arranged along a guide groove formed in the central and lower portion of the side plate (10), a driving means (17) for the rotation of the side roll in a direction opposite to the pouring direction and a means (14) for removing solidification shell from the surface of the side roll (11).
