PROCESS FOR THE DELIVERY OF MOLTEN METAL TO A CATERPILLAR TYPE MOULD

摘要

A process is described for the delivery of molten metal to a caterpillar type mould which is inclined slightly to the horizontal and is used for casting wide strip of non-ferromagnetic metal, in particular aluminium of aluminium alloys. The metal is fed through a delivery nozzle made of fire resistant material to a head of liquid metal in the mould either under the free surface of this head of metal or through this free surface on the head of liquid metal. Premature contact with the mould wall is avoided and the molten metal is fed by almost pressureless delivery.
