ABSTRACT:
The method and apparatus of the invention provide a rotatable casting wheel having an outer peripheral quench surface and an interior, annular coolant chamber. A wheel hub has a concentric axis of rotation, and two spaced-apart, annular, radially extending side members connected thereto and located concentric therewith delimit the side walls of the wheel and the coolant chamber. A cylindrical, axially extending wheel rim member is connected between the peripheral circumferential edges of the side members to provide the wheel quench surface and delimit the peripheral, circumferential wall of the coolant chamber. The rim has a frusta-conical inner surface that is sloped radially outward along the intended direction of coolant flow. A flow director located within the coolant chamber is comprised of at least one annular, radially extending support member and a cylindrical, axially extending flange member connected to the support member. The flange member is spaced radially inward from the inner surface of the wheel rim to delimit a sloped coolant flow gap therebetween which is substantially continuous, both circumferentially and axially. A coolant mechanism is connected to the wheel hub and communicates with the coolant chamber to pass a coolant through the flow gap while the wheel is rotating. Then, to cast a filament, an extrusion mechanism deposits molten metal onto the rotating quench surface.
