CONTINUOUS CASTING OF METAL SHEETS AND BANDS

摘要

The invention provides an apparatus for the continuous casting of metal sheets and bands, including two rotatable roll-crystallizers having parallel axes located in the horizontal plane and defining between them a gap of adjustable width, and means for supplying metal melt to fill the gap; characterized by means for generating at least three substantially horizontal magnetic fields producing electromagnetic pressures adapted to act to contain at least one end face of the melt within the gap.
