Abstract (en)
An apparatus and method for casting metal strip (6) include a moving chill body that has a quench surface (5). A nozzle mechanism (4) deposits stream of molten metal on a quenching region (14) of the quench surface to form the strip. The nozzle mechanism has an exit portion (26) with a nozzle orifice (22). A depletion mechanism supplies a low density atmosphere to a depletion region located adjacent to and upstream of the quenching region. The quench surface is heated to a temperature that substantially prevents precipitation of condensed or solidified constituents from the low density atmosphere onto the depletion region.
