CONTINUOUS CASTING PLANT

摘要

A continuous casting plant for continuously casting a thin metal strip (1) has a melt receiving container (4) with a melt opening (5). A casting surface (8) that receives a thin layer of melt (3), forming a strip (1), can be moved past the melt opening (5). The strip (1) is then transferred from the casting surface (8) to a strip supporting device (9). In order to cast metal strips (1) with no risks of cracks, in particular at high casting speeds, the strip supporting device (9) has a substantially plane and horizontal surface (22) for supporting the strip (1). Gas channels (21) that may be connected to a gas feeding device open into surface (22).
