Abstract
Aluminium and other non-ferrous metals are continuously cast in the form of a thin strip in a thickness range of 5-30 mm through an open-ended casting mould. The emerging strip is cooled in conventional manner by direct application of coolant as it emerges from the mould. The novel feature is that the solidified strip is gripped at its side edges at a station close to the exit of the mould and positively pulled out of the mould.
