A process and apparatus for casting a material into a desired thin strip shape. Molten material is formed into the thin strip shape by an electromagnetic containing and forming process. In a first portion the molten material is shaped into the desired thin strip shape and in a second portion upstream of and communicating with the first portion the molten material is electromagnetically contained in a sump. The sump at a top surface thereof has a substantially larger cross-sectional area as compared to a cross-sectional area of the thin strip shape. |
