Abstract
Metal strip (20) is cast from casting pool (68) of molten metal supported above nip (69) between chilled casting rolls (16). Molten metal is introduced into the casting pool by nozzle (19) having a trough (61) closed by a bottom floor (63). Metal is supplied to trough (61) in free-falling streams (65) which impinge on floor (63) and fan outwardly across the floor and through nozzle side openings (64) into the casting pool. Streams (65) are staggered longitudinally of the trough with respect to the side openings (64).
