Abstract
A device for casting thin metal products by solidifying the molten metal on the cooled lateral surfaces of two parallel horizontal rolls rotating in opposite directions, in which the casting space between the rolls is closed laterally by side dams each comprising an insert penetrating into the space between the rolls. A consumable or deformable material is provided between the rolls and the insert to provide a fluid-tight seal joint between the lateral faces of the inserts and the ends of the opposite rolls. The seal changes shaped by being consumed or deformed to maintain the fluid-tight seal as the rolls expand due to contact with the molten metal.
