Abstract
A method and apparatus for continuously casting molten TiNi-base alloys into relatively small wire or relatively flat ribbon shapes by the use of a graphite crucible structure directly adjoined by a metal die body having a shape-forming orifice; the alloy is melted in the crucible within a non-contaminating atmosphere, for example, vacuum, utilizing the graphite crucible as susceptor for the TiNi-base alloy, and the molten metal is forced through the shape forming orifice of the metal die body while the latter is cooled; the thus cast alloy is continuously removed from the die.
