ABSTRACT:
An improved melt drag metal strip casting apparatus and process in which molten metal is delivered from a supply thereof into contact with a cooled casting surface driven at a predetermined linear rate to quench and withdraw a continuous strip of metal from the molten metal supply. An air knife is employed to direct an elongated narrow jet of gas into contact with the top surface of the strip and with the molten metal supply as the strip is withdrawn to impart the desired shape and finish to the top surface of the strip and to control the amount of liquid metal adhering to the top surface as it is withdrawn to thereby control the thickness of the strip.
