DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CASTING METAL STRIPS, ESPECIALLY STEEL, IN DOUBLE ROLLER CONTINUOUS CASTING MACHINES

摘要

A device for casting strips of metal, in particular steel, in twin-roll continuous casting machines having counter-rotating casting rolls. Liquid metal is fed into a space bound by two side walls, between the rotating casting rolls. The gaps, which are formed between the side walls. The rotating casting rolls are sealed by a sealing device for generating electrodynamic forces, that, following the gap profile, act essentially parallel to the casting-roll surface. The sealing device is constructed so as to continuously adapt the electrodynamic forces to the metallostatic pressure or approximately to the metallostatic pressure of the liquid metal.
