Abstract
A method and apparatus are set forth relating to casting of metals with a high melting point utilizing a casting wheel having a grooved rim into which liquid metal is introduced. The metal is sealed during solidification by means of movable flaps which move with the wheel during its rotation. Cooling device and device for positioning of the flaps are provided and the apparatus provides for manufacture of bars or strips of ferrous or non-ferrous metals which are free from sharp edges and burrs.
