Abstract

A method and apparatus for making a molten film of metal, in particular a steel film, more uniform by strip casting, in which the molten material which is applied to a revolving belt is to have a thickness and properties which are as uniform as possible across the width of the film. To make the film more uniform over its width, forces are introduced into the metal film with a component which is directed oppositely to the direction in which the film is conveyed, which forces make the profile of the molten film of metal more uniform.
