ABSTRACT:
Continuous casting apparatus is disclosed having a rotatable casting wheel 10 formed with an annular groove 12 in the wheel rim and an endless metallic band 20 mounted for movement along an endless path passing over and in contact with the casting wheel rim. Means 15, 17, 18, 19 are provided for introducing molten metal 16 into the casting wheel groove 12 under the endless band 20. A band hold-down roller 25 biases the band 20 firmly against the casting wheel rim overlaying the casting wheel groove 12. The hold-down roller 25 has an annular groove 26 located over the casting wheel groove into which an arched portion 21 of the endless metallic band 20 may intrude upon being heated by molten metal introduced into the casting wheel groove and thermally expanded.
