A method of casting metal wherein the molten metal is deposited on a moving planar substrate formed from an insulating refractory material. The deposited liquid metal is maintained as a liquid until the turbulence induced by the pouring of the metal onto the substrate is minimized. In order to increase cooling rate, the strip is preferably moved across a mesh substrate 50, 132, 186 where its lower surface is cooled. Ideally, this occurs as soon as the bottom of the strip has sufficient strength to support the remainder of the strip on the mesh. <IMAGE> |
