Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0124684A1] An apparatus and method for casting metal strip (6) include a moving chill body that has a quench surface. A nozzle mechanism (4) deposits a stream of molten metal on a quenching region (14) of the quench surface (5) to form the strip. The nozzle mechanism has an exit portion (26) with a nozzle orifice (22). A depletion mechanism heats a gas to lower the density thereof and to produce a low-density atmosphere. The gas (24) is supplied to a depletion region (13) located adjacent to and upstream of the quenching region to provide the low density atmosphere within the depletion region.
