Abstract
The method of producing thin cast strip by continuous casting is disclosed. At least two sensors are operationally connected to at least one end of at least one of a pair of casting rolls or of a pair of brushes, to continuously measure at least two force-related parameters during casting. At least two time domain signals corresponding to the measured force-related parameters are generated. The time domain signals are continuously monitored and transformed into corresponding frequency domain spectrums. The frequency domain spectrums are analyzed and composite intensity values are continuously calculated from the intensity levels of at least a portion of the frequency component signals within the frequency spectrums. Casting parameters are adjusted in response to reduce strip defects.
