ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and process are provided for forming molten thin strip material into a desired thin strip shape. The apparatus comprises a device for electromagnetic forming of the molten material. This device includes a first and second inductor disposed on either side of the molten thin strip material for generating first and second magnetic fields about the first and second edges of the thin strip material. Third and fourth inductors are disposed adjacent opposite edges of the thin strip material for generating third and fourth magnetic fields which interact with the first and second magnetic fields, respectively. Structure regulates the strength of the fields induced by the inductor device to form the molten material into the desired thin strip shape.
