METHOD FOR STRIP CASTING ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE

摘要

A continuous strip casting process, in which a casting surface is moved past a nozzle (24) in a molten metal (20) holding tundish (22), comprises the pouring of molten metal into the tundish at a rate necessary to establish a metallo-static head pressure of at least 0.25 psi at the nozzle within 1 sec after pouring is initiated, and pouring additional metal into the tundish at a rate necessary to maintain a constant operating pressure at the nozzle throughout casting. Also claimed is a tundish having a front wall (26) with an inside surface which converges with the inside surface (29,30) of its wall (28) at least near the tundish nozzle. This is useful in casting e.g. amorphous metal strip.
