An edge dam of a twin roll type strip caster is provided as a refractory material having a sealing member for sealing both end surfaces of a pair of casting rolls, and is pressed and raised according to wear of the sealing member. To uniformly maintain a contact area of the sealing member and the casting roll in a process in which the edge dam is moved while the edge dam is pressed and raised, both sides and a lower part of the sealing member are formed as an inclined surface inclined inwardly of the sealing member. An angle of inclination of the inclined surface is increased in a direction in which the sealing member is raised, and the angle of inclination &#x3b8; of the inclined surface is obtained by a relationship between a moving distance l due to raising of the edge dam and a wear depth d.

Edge dam of twin roll type strip caster

There is provided a twin roll strip casting method. The twin roll strip casting method includes: continuously producing a strip by forming a molten steel pool using rotating rolls and edge dams contacting ends of the rotating rolls, and supplying molten steel to the molten steel pool; and lifting the edge dams by taking an amount of wear of the edge dams, occurring during casting, into consideration.
