Abstract
A method and apparatus for the continuous casting of metal strips, bands or thin slabs between two axially parallel cooled drums or cylindrical rolls. The liquid metal is introduced into a hollow mold chamber and the partially solidified cast strand is held against the outer surface of one of the rolls after passage through a gap at least until its complete solidification. In order to attain a higher casting capacity combined with simple and reliable equipment, it is proposed to select, in relation to predetermined a cooling capacity, a relationship between the thickness of the band or the like and the casting speed such that the liquid core of the band is supported against the outer surface of the one roll over at least 90.degree., preferably over 180.degree. to 210.degree..
