CHILL FOR DIRECT CASTING OF THIN PLATELETS

摘要

Apparatus for successively casting discrete thin platelets of metal includes a rotating internally fluid cooled cylindrical chill arranged so that the lower portion of its surface dips into molten metal. The chill surface is formed of successive circumferential areas of metal chill separated by circumferential areas of refractory material on which the molten metal does not solidify. A scraper is positioned to remove the solidified platelets from the chill and discharge them into a cooling medium.
