Abstract
Continuous production of metal fiber is provided by delivering molten metal at low pressure to a multi-edged, rotating casting drum. The metal is delivered through a wide orifice in a tundish frontwall in close proximity to the casting edges. The flow to the orifice is controlled by means of a constrictive channel upstream of the orifice communicating with the source of molten metal.
