CONTINUOUS CASTING OF METAL STRIP BETWEEN MOVING BELTS ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE for supporting and cooling the reverse surfaces of belts in apparatus for continuously casting metal strip be- tween such belts, means enclosing the reverse surface of a belt includes a multiplicity of guiding faces that are distri- buted closely both crosswise and lengthwise of the belt to de- fine an intended belt path, and that have nozzle openings through which liquid coolant is projected against the belt, rapidly flowing out in a layer over the guiding face and being withdrawn at localities close to all of the guiding faces. The belt, which may be forced toward the faces to stabilize it in its desired path, thus rests on a layer of rapidly moving liquid coolant, which affords efficient heat removal and an essentially complete liquid bearing, such apparatus and pro- cedure being also deemed applicable to cooling other sur- faces. The high velocity coolant layer can be extended around part of the curved followed by the belts returning to enter the mold space; thus or otherwise a liquid bearing can be provided along this return belt path approaching the mold entrance, avoiding large pulleys that interfere with the use of effective cooling structure there. The guide-faced nozzle elements along the mold path can be individually mounted and limit-loaded toward the belt so as to yield to local excess of outward force by the belt, for instance as caused by solidi- fied metal.
