Provided are a transition piece 4 positioned above a melt pool 6 formed between chilled rolls 1, rotatable cylindrical brushes 7 extending axially of the rolls 1 and each abutting against an outer periphery of the corresponding roll 1 all over axial length thereof on a side away from the pool 6 and below the transition piece 4, first cowlings 9 each covering the roll 1 in between the transition piece 4 and the brush 7, second cowlings 10 each surrounding a portion of the brush 7 not in contact with the roll 1, third cowlings 11 each covering the roll 1 below the brush 7 and outlets 8 for feeding sealing gas S to between the transition piece 4 and the rolls 1, the sealing gas S from the outlets 8 filling up to outlet portions of the third cowlings 11.

A roll polishing apparatus is provided which can suppress cracks on a strip. Provided are brush rolls 9 which face outer periphery of chilled rolls 1 over axial length of the chilled rolls, respectively, cylinders 10 which urge the brush rolls 9 wholly to the chilled rolls 1, respectively, and cylinders 11 which deform the brush rolls 9 in conformity to crowns of the chilled rolls 1, respectively. By these elements, wires of the brush rolls 9 are uniformly contacted on outer peripheries of the chilled rolls 1 to wipe off oxides adhering to the outer peripheries of the chilled rolls 1.

Chilled rolls 1, side weirs 2 and a molten-metal delivery nozzle 4 are provided. Contiguous with bottoms of end faces of the nozzle 4 are baffles 11 which are projected in a casting pool 8 toward the side weirs 2 to suppress stream of the molten metal into a nip G between the rolls. Thus, the hot molten metal just after poured into the pool does not instantly reach the nip G along the side weirs 2; the molten metal decreased in temperature with lapse of time after the pouring is caused to stream into the nip G as the rolls are rotated. As a result, eliminated is belated formation of solidified shells at and adjacent to outer circumferential edges of the chilled rolls 1. Thus, the strip 3 delivered from the nip G between the rolls 1 has no reduced thickness at regions adjacent to lateral edges of the strip and the strip 3 can be obtained which has uniform thickness throughout the width of the strip.
