Abstract
Molten metal dispensed upon the surface of an adjacent rotating drum produces a ribbon of solidified metal which separates from the drum while the drum is rotating. To prevent ripples from forming in the surface of the ribbon, a casting surface on the periphery of the rotating drum includes structure to minimize the ratio of transverse heat flow rate from the casting surface to radial heat flow rate.
