<p>An improved method of and apparatus is disclosed for direct casting of molten metal to form a strip by solidification of the molten metal on a moving chill surface (12) using the vessel having a floor (30), space sidewalls (32, 34), an inlet (20) and an outlet (18) extending between the sidewalls (32, 34) for supplying the molten metal to the chill surface (12) in which the transverse dimension of the outlet may be adjusted during casting to change the width of the strip by central baffle (44) and preferably adjustable baffles (106, 108) to control the flow pattern to provide a substantially uniform flow of metal to the outlet.</p> |
