Abstract
A process is described for the delivery of molten metal to a caterpillar type mold which is inclined slightly to the horizontal and is used for casting wide strip, especially non-ferromagnetic metals, such as aluminium of aluminium alloys. The metal is fed through a delivery nozzle made of fire resistant material to a head of liquid metal in the mold either under the free surface of this head of metal or through this free surface on the head of liquid metal. Premature contact with the mold wall is avoided and the molten metal is fed in an almost pressureless manner.
