ABSTRACT:
An adjustable flow control device for use in a metal strip continuous casting apparatus comprises a tundish for directing molten metal onto a moving chill surface and a plurality of individually and vertically adjustable flow control plates which extend across the width of the tundish. Each of the individual and vertically adjustable flow control plates define a flow passageway between the plate bottom edge and the tundish floor for controlling molten metal flow in the tundish. By providing individually adjustable flow control plates, flow of molten metal can be controlled in discrete width portions of the tundish to improve cast strip thickness and cross-sectional profile. The adjustable flow control device may be responsive to sensed casting parameters to permit automatic and precise control over cast strip thickness and cross-sectional profile during continuous casting of metal, in particular, aluminum alloys.
