<p>A method and apparatus for the continuous processing of molten metal from inlet (3) by passing the molten metal through a trough (6) having a perforated bottom (9) to form streams of droplets (28), passing the droplets through a counter current flow of circulating inert cooling gas medium (12, 13) to produce solidified granules by heat loss through radiation and convection, the granules being ready for compaction by rolling (21) without the necessity for any reheating or treatment of the granules in a reducing gas. A bright surface and a high degree of flatness of the rolled product is ensured by passing the hot rolled product between cooling/flattening rolls in an inert gas medium (23). </p> |
