In a method of manufacturing a wide metal thin strip, molten metal is ejected onto the surface of a rotating cooling roll. The nozzle shape permits manufacture of wide metal thin strips having a uniform thickness in the width direction.

Method of manufacturing a wide metal thin strip

Apparatus and method of producing a thin metal ribbon by pouring a molten metal onto the surface of a quench roll rotating at a high speed so as to rapidly cool and solidify the metal to form the ribbon, separating the ribbon from the quench roll and conveying the same to a take-up device. A compressed gas is blown tangent to the quench roll to separate the ribbon from the quench roll. The separated ribbon is sucked and caught by a suction conveyor which runs at a velocity greater than the speed of production of the thin meal ribbon thereby imparting tension to the ribbon.
