Abstract (en)

[origin: US4823860A] A flow of coolant is injected or blown into spaces bounded by a cast strip the point of minimal separation between the rolls, and the rolls themselves. The coolant is injected or blown by means of nozzles disposed on both sides of the strip. In the case of an asymmetric emergence of the strip due to increased adhesion to one of the rolls, the resulting asymmetric conditions cause the strip to continually be redirected into a symmetric position. This stabilizing effect renders it possible to achieve a much greater length of contact between the cast metal and the rolls and consequently to realize the essential increase of the production rate of the casting line.
