摘要:
A nozzle end is provided with an extension 11 which has a lower portion immersed in a molten metal pool and extends toward a side weir 2 such that a stagnation area disappears on a free liquid surface of molten metal.The extension 11 is in the form of a quadrangular pyramid lying sidelong and is converged to a point P1 extremely close to the side weir 2. According to this molten metal feed nozzle, a stagnation area on a free liquid surface of molten metal is displaced by the extension 11 contiguous with the nozzle end to suppress generation of an unwanted solidification shell. Thus, no unwanted solidification shell is pinched as foreign matter by solidification shells generated on outer peripheries of chilled rolls 1 for production of a strip and break of a strip derived from enlargement of nip between the rolls can be averted.

To give vibration to molten metal in a melt pool to enhance solidification efficiency of the molten metal. Substantially directly above meniscus 14 between molten metal 5 in a melt pool 4 and each of rolls, an AC electromagnet 15 is arranged over the entire length of said meniscus 14 so that magnetic flux runs substantially perpendicular to a surface of the molten metal. Above the AC electromagnet 15, a DC electromagnet 16 is arranged over the entire length of the AC electromagnet 15 so that magnetic flux runs substantially perpendicular to the surface of the molten metal. Under application of DC magnetic field by means of the DC electromagnet 16, an AC magnetic field is applied near the meniscus 14 between the molten metal 5 in the melt pool 4 and each of the rolls 1 and 2. As a result, induction current is generated in the molten metal 5 and high frequency vibration is applied to the molten metal 5 by Lorentz's force due to interaction between the induction current and the DC magnetic field.
