Abstract
Method and apparatus for sealing molten metal for use in twin-roll type continuous casting apparatus for preventing molten metal from entry into a clearance between a pair of mold rolls and side weirs disposed at opposite ends of the pair of mold rolls to define a molten metal reservoir above the gap between the mold rolls. a sealing medium is supplied at the inner side of the side weirs in the vicinity of the border between the molten metal and each of the mold rolls. Entry of molten metal into the clearance is prevented without the necessity of pressing the side weirs against the roll ends.
