<p>Molten metal, in the gap (35) between two counter-rotating rolls (31, 32) of a continuous strip-casting apparatus, is prevented from leaking out of an open side (36) of the gap (35) by a magnetic confining apparatus (30) employing the proximity effect to produce a horizontal magnetic field extending through the open side (36) of the gap (35). The apparatus includes structure for confining the magnetic field substantially to the open side (36) of the gap (35) and for preventing dissipation of the magnetic field away from the open side (36) of the gap (35).</p> |
