Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0430841A1] Device for continuous casting of thin metal strips (6) between two parallel rotating rolls (2), comprising lateral faces at the ends of the rolls defining, with the rolls, the casting space for the molten metal (1), characterised in that it comprises a flat cover (7), arranged above the molten metal (1) and in the immediate vicinity of its meniscus in order to form a thermal screen which is of a size so as to cover over the entire surface of the molten metal, this cover (7) being provided with a refractory coating (8) on its face which is turned towards the molten metal and bearing on the two rolls (2). This cover forms a thermal shield or screen preventing any incipient surface solidification of the bath of molten metal (1). Advantageously, an inert gas may be injected between the meniscus (4) and the cover (7) through the latter. <IMAGE>
