Abstract
An improved apparatus and process is provided for producing solid metal strip from a molten source using a rapidly moving quench surface. The improvement comprises an auxiliary, liquid-cooled chill roll for contacting the solid strip and urging it against the quench surface. The invention permits high quench rates and improved strip surface smoothness to be achieved and finds particular advantage in the casting of metallic glass alloys.
